Microsoft already has all the connections with enterprises. The tech doesn’t matter as much as a two decade head start building relationships. Want more evidence — that’s why Oracle still exists.

Oracle db is a joke. Existing clientele and fear of change is the only reason they still move forward

GCP interface looks like a something which developers want to use for debugging purpose. They need better marketing and change that UI .

I don't care about UI, I just want compute and storage with low price and high reliability.

Microsoft’s product offering for enterprise is so much wider than google’s product portfolio. That means more possibilities to bundle, up sell etc.

When Google+ will surpass Facebook, we can come back and discuss this... But wait.... Google+ is already closed... Hmmm.... All the technology that Google has couldn't help Google+ to even come closer to FB.. Microsoft has invested a lot of time in Azure... It's not that easy unless GCP becomes primary business of Google

Microsoft understands four things that Google doesn't: developers, developers, developers, developers.

I think Microsoft understands better enterprise or business clients, their needs and how to keep them engaged. Google is better at consumer products and is more successful than Microsoft. Developers have more favorable opinions about Google than Microsoft.

Not the ones who use their dev tools.

Time to market is important. That is why AWS is so big and now Microsoft has benefited from Amazon’s buying of Whole Foods. There is too much gap to chase. Usually market allows two big competitors with a few niche businesses. Think of Coke vs Pepsi, Microsoft vs Apple in PC, Android vs iOS. There are exceptions of course. Based on what I am hearing, Google had a bad leader (Diane Greene) and hired her successor with equally bad track record and character. He will soon fill up the leadership with Indian buddies and GCP won’t be in competition any more.

Probably 5 years. I work on Azure compute and would sell my balls to work on GCP
