What the fuck is this abomination of a link
OP doesn’t know editing out the extra tags on a URL.
It's a one sided song of praise for Nadella and Microsoft. Not even worth debating.
My guess is that this market should have competition and that will be good for other businesses. Overall Microsoft , amazon and google and other cloud providers want businesses to be successful
Forbes is highly biased in favor of Azure over AWS. I see one such article every 2-3 days in my LinkedIn feed.
Forbes allows paid 3P contributors. This is just MSFT ecosystem fluff n FUD to make it seem more attractive to enterprise execs who don't want to do the research.
Oh wait I thought ibm was leader in the cloud /s
Was about to say. So many Forbes articles on ibm being a “leader” also.
And SalesForce 😉👆
The fact that Microsoft again and again refers to AWS whereas AWS never mentions Azure is a proof of who is the leader and who is the follower . Meanwhile it doesn’t mean Azure is bad .
Funny of how it's just Amazon people cribbing over here. Fucking sweatshop workers
Because we innovated billing on office products and now consider your desktop office products part of the ‘cloud’?
The article addressed that exact criticism: This is one that drives the inside-the-bubble purists crazy: they love to dismiss this part of Microsoft’s business as “not really cloud” or propose absurd arguments such as “if you take out the revenue for Microsoft 365, Microsoft’s overall cloud revenue would be much smaller.” ... Microsoft 365—a combination of Office 365, Windows 10, and EMS (Enterprise Security + Mobility)—allows business customers to leverage their existing investments, processes and familiarity to begin moving aggressively into higher-level cloud services. As Nadella put it, “Microsoft 365 is now a multibillion-dollar business that gives our customers a path to the cloud and broadens our reach with new and underpenetrated markets, including more than 2 billion first-line workers, and industry-specific workflows. It does mean revenue numbers are not exactly comparable, but it is a key growth driver that Amazon doesn't have access to.
Google doing the same with G Suite (classified as cloud). But if you look at pure IaaS, no comparison.
