No. Microsoft wants to control corporate and government identity, client compute and server compute.

Google is mostly about the consumer.

Between Linked-In and O365, they have the ability to target their B2B marketing or facilitate surveillance more than any other organization on the planet. Google knows all sorts of things about me, but Microsoft knows who the government official handling a critical matter is, knows who their secretary is, and knows who the lobbyists, applications or service providers.

Google may be evil, but Microsoft isn't some white knight. They are hard competitors well placed to unseat traditional enterprise players.

It seems you can’t say anything on the internet without someone interpreting it with rigid binary thinking. Fine then. Microsoft isn’t great either. Google does some good things. News at eleven.
