Meh, he lost me when he tried to say Microsoft success in cloud is due to Office. Microsoft's success in cloud is due to having a good enough cloud platform and being better at selling to enterprises than Amazon or Google. IBM and Oracle can sell to enterprises but lost because their cloud platforms suck.


MSOffice gives a pretty big advantage when you want to sell to enterprises !

And I've heard that these days, Office 365 collaborative work is at least as good as Google Docs, if not better !


So, in your opinion, Microsoft is a bad company because they have a better product and they're using it to make money from other corporations?

Wow, that's pretty damning!
