1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    So I've never looked up Microsoft's financial reporting before but from what I can glean they report 3 business units with the following revenue for 2023:

    • Productivity and Business Processes 69 Billion
    • Intelligent Cloud 88 Billion
    • More Personal Computing 54 billion

    It's not very clear where the gaming and Windows business units fall in there nor how they compare to eachother, but what is clear is that Azure is absolutely killing it in revenue for Microsoft

    Here's a report of the current market breakdown. Azure is over 23% of the entire cloud market and gaining ground rapidly.

    I've probably made some errors in this quick data grab, but it's extremely clear that azure is a significant portion of Microsoft's interests right now.

    Huh, the more you know. I was under impression that google and amazon had much bigger market share and Microsoft was at 10% at best, but I never actually looked that up. Now looking at it, what you've said makes much more sense, thanks.
