Or maybe Microsoft is just creating a bigger and better ecosystem.... Who else is trying to cover all your needs (1) both on-premise and in the cloud; (2) across platforms from USB thumbdrives to smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops and servers; and (3) has cross-platform apps on Windows, Android and iOS? Google is pretty much cloud-only and Apple is pretty much Apple only, and neither of them supports anything like the same range of devices. It's a long play, but Microsoft has been executing this strategy for a few years now....
