This was immediately after they mentioned 95% of Fortune 500, etc. so I assumed market size.

But, maybe that was the intention without giving any details.

We’ll never know until office is separated out in MSFT reporting I guess.

It’s also very carefully worded.

> More than 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies run Microsoft Azure.

For example, I worked at a large media company and we had a couple Azure services spun up related to our email service.

But the bulk was on AWS, which handled our business workloads — eg, serving video.

Is Microsoft counting my former employer among that 95%?
