Really? They still have corporate desktops and cheap skanky laptops (for some reason), but azure is not a challange to AWS, they aren't in the media business, the home market is being chipped away, where are they doing better now then they were 12 months ago?

Since 12 months ago profits have doubled, shares are up 19%, revenue is up 13%, cloud revenue is up 11%, cash reserves are up, oh, and PC-related revenue is down a whopping 2%. Actually the latest quarter shows cloud revenue up 98% (I assume year-on-year), so Azure is doing pretty well. https://www.computerworlduk.com/it-vendors/is-microsoft-azure-really-making-up-ground-on-aws-3671566/ https://www.computerworlduk.com/it-vendors/is-microsoft-azur...
