Re: Poring cold water on it....
"The only reason Microsoft overtook Amazon for Cloud Revenue was because they started including O365 (and now Dynamics 365) revenues in their collective revenue figures "
Which are clearly cloud based services. And they don't so far include Xbox Live which is also a massive cloud based service with circa 50 million users.
"Last quarter Microsoft had 500m active Azure subscriptions, AWS had almost 1.7bn!"
Microsoft are winning where it matters - the volume business of large enterprises - and are growing market share direct directly at AWS's expense.
" But if you're going to quote statistics and "facts" at least check them first "
They are directly from Microsoft's and AWS quarter accounting statements. And whilst you have tried to spread some FUD, you haven't identified anything that was not factually correct.
