This is a friendly reminder that the only well run companies are led by Satya Nadella and Tim Cook. Alphabet and Meta are like two spoiled children that got rich quick and don't know what it's like to go through an existential crisis.

What do you mean? Microsoft's profit dropped by 14% Azure stays afloat because they managed to secure ties with governmental agencies thanks to their strong and suspicious lobby, it's not an organic growth (AWS and Google is an example of organic growth and industry leadership and innovation), what area Microsoft innovated? in Europe for example, Microsoft is a monopoly - education - public administrations They all use Microsoft services, office, windows and now azure And it's not just with Europe, they managed to secure multiple times billions of cash (questionable Hololens contract with the military) And lets not forget they have a track record of bribery cases https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-settlement-idUSKCN1UH1P3 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-settlement-idUS... https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/07/22/microsoft-pay-million-settle-probe-into-hungarian-kickback-scheme/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/07/22/microso... https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/25/microsoft_accused_of_corrupt_business/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/25/microsoft_accused_of_... http://techrights.org/2014/05/28/microsoft-brazil/ http://techrights.org/2014/05/28/microsoft-brazil/ Xbox, Windows, HW revenue down too

  You think AWS and Google do not employ the same sort of growth tactics as MS and others? Where do you think all the AWS and Goog sales folks hail from? Hint - the same places as MS sales folks and every other company! In enterprise land, AWS and Goog are frequently dismissed as they are still relatively immature in how they engage and navigate large orgs, if they even try. MS (and Oracle and even IBM still to some extent) walk around and laugh all the way to the bank signing 9 and 10 figure deals.

Google's share price has tripled in the 7 years since Sundar became CEO. The company is worth over a trillion dollars. This is apparently considered badly run in your world?

Lol: microsoft is about to destroy themselves with copilot (the damages have already been done). Their government welfare program (22 billion for AR beta test) is already a failure. Nobody wants to use windows 11 unless they are forced. Still DESPERATELY trying to monopolize the gaming market. They're a floating textbook example of antitrust, and about to get flushed. I hope the enabling shareholders all go down with them. Maybe not the textbook example easily explained to a lay-person, but their behavior does in fact tend to create a monopoly, and I challenge you to find a jury that would disagree.

  > microsoft is about to destroy themselves with copilot (the damages have already been done) How do you figure that copilot will destroy MS? It’s one feature of one product. Even if they get sued big time, I wouldn’t imagine this would put a dent in the money they make from Azure/Windows/MS365/Xbox
