They're not really a "leader in generative AI". They're just rising along on OpenAI's success. Copilot like the one for M365 is very underwhelming. Most of its promises don't pan out.

They're hell-bent on becoming the biggest name in AI though. I hope they don't succeed. They're too big already in enterprise.

Azure was their most profitable sector. Greeds gonna greed I guess.
