I do not think anyone has said that Microsoft's way of defining what the cloud is is more accurate... What I am trying to say is that the criticism that you are "not allowed" to include PaaS and SaaS solutions to the cloud revenue doesn't seem correct either. I understand why someone like AWS would not want that to be the new way of counting. It is profitable to appear as the unthreatened champion of cloud (the default choice), but the fact is that Microsoft is closer in size than what many people may think.
