Considering Microsoft has been dealing in vapor for years, clouds seem to be a natural line extension for them. Seriously though, does anyone really believe MS is going to be able to deliver something well-engineered?

No, not a chance. Unless they buy a completely separate company not run by their engineers to do the work. Their standard production model seems to be: slap a bunch of features together so that the user gets at least an hour or so of non-crash functionality, then spend years slowly resolving the bugs, yet pile on more features with more bugs, repeat.

can you mention any company that can deliver something well-engineered?

If yes, list the products please :)
