I suspect that is very much just the crowds you move in. Every vaguely large enterprise I know is still 100% Microsoft. A huge part of Microsoft's profit these days is their Cloud department, which is really just printing money selling Office 365 licenses to enterprise.
- crazygringo 4y agoTheir comment said it -- SME's (small- and medium-sized enterprises). There's a gigantic cultural division between SME's where the decision to go Google is a no-brainer (whether starting from in the first place, or switching to at some point in the past 10 years), and large enterprises where the inertia of MS Office is just too great to switch. What's funny is just how deeply unaware both sides often are of the other -- as both of your comments demonstrate. :)
- markmark 4y ago:) I'm completely aware that smaller companies are using Google. My last two companies used it! (Right up until we were acquired by a large enterprise and got moved to MS).
- benhurmarcel 4y agoThis is true although Google is slowly getting more of that market. There are various very large companies that are switching.
