Say what you will about Microsoft, but Azure is struggling to survive (lots of pretence while lots of layoffs - not payoffs* - go on). The slop - which Microsoft wrongly advertises as "intelligence" - turns out to be "for entertainment" only, according to Microsoft. Almost everything gets rebranded as "Copilot" to fake growth, but in reality many services and products get shut down, e.g. Skype and soon XBox.

Microsoft is a very feeble company pretending to be a giant (which it once was; right now it's giant debt spinning out of control). This graph says it all really:

Market cap history of Microsoft from 1996 to 2025: 4,000B+, Windows market share ~90%; Windows market share ~30%

Definitely not a Ponzi scheme. Definitely!

* Microsoft paying 'open' 'hey hi' for compute capacity/time is circular financing, i.e. a form of financial fraud and fake "demand", enabled by Scam Altman, who Microsoft hired.
