>Microsoft, the entire business world depend on their apps and services. The world wouldn't run without Azure, Windows and Office.

Funnily, no one at the office (a dozen colleagues, in a European software editing company) and in my family uses any Microsoft service – except for LinkedIn, Github and npm.

Every fortune 500 company I've interacted with has a contract for microsoft's productivity suite. As they continue down the "github is the entire productivity suite for developers" that will only continue. The lock in they've got provides incredible value, and IMO is the main reason azure is even kind of successful.

None of my previous employers was MSFT free. Not one.

Sharepoint especially is killer software for any non trivial org.
