I can see Microsoft just being the Azure company at this rate. Then they’ll have to charge what it costs to run and a lot of companies will wish they had stayed cloud agnostic.

The business is basically thirds last I looked. Windows, Office and Azure.

Not sure how their purchase of platform companies they shouldn't have been allowed to buy plays into that. Thinking LinkedIn and GitHub.

They already make money hand-over-fist on Azure. Cloud computing is already quite expensive

So the Microsoft brand is just for show and it's actually called Azure.
