THE reality of the matter is, "Clown Computing" and Web servers aren't even remotely Microsoft's future. Microsoft lost 10% of the market that it had this past December and it's accelerating out of control. Google's internal report says Azure is losing billions of dollars and last week we learned of yet another wave of Azure layoffs - the second in less than a month. As one report puts it today:
Microsoft’s new fiscal year has started with a round of layoffs and some changes in its partner program, especially around requirements for specializations.
Layoffs aren’t unusual for Microsoft this time of year. The Redmond, Wash.-based tech giant started its 2025 fiscal year July 1 and should report results for the 2024 fiscal year and final quarter of that year later this month.
Based on user posts to Microsoft-owned social network LinkedIn, the cuts have hit a variety of managers, engineers and other job titles in Microsoft subsidiaries Flip and Nuance and even in areas that touch its fast-growing [sic] artificial intelligence (AI) business.
As for partner program changes, early announcements on Microsoft’s Partner Center don’t appear to reach the level of a New Commerce Experience (NCE), but still have an effect on how solution providers earn benefits as a Microsoft partner.
Spin aside, there were many layoffs, the "artificial intelligence (AI) business" is not growing (it's just a bubble), and the layoffs say it all really. That Microsoft does mass layoffs during a national holiday is really quite telling.
Microsoft is trying to sweep the bad news under some rug or wardrobe. The stock market was already closed. █
