Ill agree on office365 - but not cloud services. They’re about neck and neck with Google (and Oracle is gearing up) but AWS has a massive commanding lead.

Apple could easily become “the portal” to the cloud with their devices but Tim Cook doesn’t seem to get it.

[Alas Babylon!]

Maybe. But now Microsoft is offering business customers who use Azure VMs free Server OS licensing. AWS cannot compete there. Microsoft also has 0365, which includes Exchange and SharePoint Online, Skype Business, and Enterprise Mobility in their cloud, which covers Iaas, PaaS and SaaS, something AWS doesn't offer, (which is just Iaas). BTW, Azure is only about 5% behind AWS is overall sales.
