I can't believe we argue about the knowhow and seize of the cloud business between Sony and Microsoft.
Microsoft is currently No. 2 worldwide when it comes to cloud computing, just behind Amazon.

Amazon is leading, but MS made HUGE steps in 2013.
Google and IBM are miles away. Sony is not even in this business.

good read.


Good they are making money. BUT it says NOTHING about their infastructure vs. MS's. MS outages were way more widespread than google's last year and google is projected to triple this year for $1billion as well. 

Here is a comparison of the 2's infrastucture. Google wins no doubt.

3 questions:

Did you just come up with a blog post?
And why are you switching from cheering for Sony vs MS to cheering for Google vs MS?
And since when does making money not matter anymore?

Anyway MS signed some really big deals in past months for Office 365 and it is leading against Google. And this is for a reason.
The Server and Tools division of MS is doing a FANTASTIC job for the past years.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
