In my country we used pirated version of Office products. Does that count?

East-Asia chiming in here, Microsoft dominates enterprise, Google is a tiny player, single digit percentage market share for any enterprise product. Only on cloud does MS have competition from AWS and local players, everything else is Microsoft. And even in cloud Azure is rapidly eating through AWS marketshare.

Microsoft or pirated Microsoft? I was surprised when <insert major Arab oil company> was using pirated MS Office on all their systems. This was a bit more than ten years ago though, so 365 wasn't a thing. But still....

I love this "X in not the world comment" while others are giving more and more evidence of the opposite. Care to give actual evidence, like, I don't know, this Statisa survey (https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/software/productivity-s...) because you've now looked farcical. Even looking at African results (which is a relative greenfield), it seems that Microsoft has a sight lead here (https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/software/productivity-s...).

Edit: Indonesia is the largest market which has Google beat Microsoft (https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/software/productivity-s...). India (due to Zoho) and China (due to... locally-specific software like Kingsoft (aka WPS) et al.) took a large chunk but on Microsoft-Google tussle MS still beats Google (especially in China where Google doesn't really operate).

In South America, Microsoft brand is waaaaay stronger than Google's for businesses of all sizes. Google is viewed more as a consumer brand.
