The real question is how well those services are performing as gateway drugs. Anyone who's an O365 customer is an Azure customer because of Azure AD. It was smart of them to leverage it but this rings hollow. There are plenty of enterprises and medium sized businesses out there with O365/Azure AD and use AWS and/or Google for essentially everything else, particularly the customer-facing applications. The corp IT departments probably have a lot more inherent trust for Microsoft so I can see a lot of internal workloads moving into Azure regardless. I know they're working hard to leverage their existing deals with these departments or enlisting clueless executives to nab that juicy cloud scale application the company is actually making money on though.
