Summary: Despite its so-called 'clown-first' strategy (clown computing), Microsoft is almost nowhere to be seen at the back end (server side); the media is massively inflating the perceived share of Azure, which may in fact be operating at a loss because there are layoffs and the future is sadly involving some proprietary actors like ClownFlare

LAST week Netcraft prematurely published Web statistics for this month. Netcraft has been measuring (for about two decades already) which software runs at the back end of millions of active sites, as well as parked domains.

This is a subject I feel comfortable commenting on as it closely relates to what I do for a living; it's becoming rather apparent that Microsoft has no future on the Web. It's falling off the charts very rapidly and even more rapidly since the COVID-19 breakout. Sooner or later Netcraft won't even mention Microsoft anywhere at all. ⬆
