Many owners of SME expressed a lot of distrust towards "cloud" offerings. Even they are somewhat aware of industrial espionage and the risks of giving away control of central company assets like that. Microsoft tries to appease these concerns by e.g. having European companies control European operations (e.g. Telekom Cloud = Azure run by DTAG), but it doesn't seem to work that well — folks still assume that US courts and agencies have full access.
