Yes, Google will not "win" at the total expense of Amazon & Microsoft, but I would bet a good deal of money that they'll become the market leader within the next five years, and likely sooner. The rate at which Google has been open-sourcing things, too, will further expedite this, and the fact that they just joined OCP will give them better industry credibility on the data center / computing side.

However, Google seems to be trailing in third in the cloud, at least for enterprise users. And it seems to be falling well behind AWS and Azure. See, for example, https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-2G2O5FC&ct=150519 https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-2G2O5FC&ct=150519 and http://www.spiceworks.com/marketing/diving-into-IT-cloud-services/report/ http://www.spiceworks.com/marketing/diving-into-IT-cloud-ser... and http://www.techinsider.io/why-amazon-is-so-hard-to-topple-in-the-cloud-and-where-everybody-else-falls-2015-10 http://www.techinsider.io/why-amazon-is-so-hard-to-topple-in... Be interested to see any reports/surveys/data that show Google leading in cloud services, but Google didn't find me any ;-)
