### Comment:
Not a bad play; MSFT is really doing well in the cloud hosting space; they’re really giving AWS a run for their money, and in other places, the primary choice for a multi-provider network. 
  
 Total gut instinct here, but my customers all seem to be looking a lot harder at MSFT than they were just a couple of years ago, and our new customer acquisitions distros seem to be asking about Azure more and more every day. 
  
 Disclaimer: I’m LOOOOONG on MSFT.

### REPLY:
Windows (to include server), Office and the like are all basically legacy products that just need to die. They're far from complete with their transition away from their 'our shit only works with our shit' business model that the rest of the industry has ditched because customers fucking hate it. 
  
 Azure has to save the rest of the business that I still consider a dumpster fire.
