I'd mark it largely under marketing. As others have already said, Azure is Microsoft's real moneymaker. Forget about Windows and Office, they are a shrinking market.

In the end, who makes the decision on which tools to use? Developers and technical leads, not some CEO or middle management. Position yourself withing the developer community, built a good name, andbe sure they will consider other Microsoft services as well. Especially when they already integrate very well with you toolchain.

I don't even know what you are talking about. Even the highest estimates analyst estimates place Azure revenue at 20bn out of the 130bn MSFT pulls. Earnings-wise it-s even more lopsided
