    A lot of people don't realise how big part of the internet runs on servers of Amazon and Microsoft. They're so much bigger than it seems 😅
  • @ChineseKiwi
    Hey everyone: It is the ENTERPRISE stuff that makes all the money, not you or the gaming divisions.
  • @Money8OOST
    Me using cracked windows apparently didn't slow them down
  • @Vivienedouglass
    No matter the Fugazi around Nvidia, I still believe in Microsoft and it has not disappointed I already 0wn shares of Microsoft, TSLA, NVDA and APPL as well. Sure, I don't mind having these equities sit around for a while, but I'd also like to appreciate short-term opportunities that could fetch $200,000 or less..
  • @BusterDarcy
    Why do I feel like I just watched one long intro to a full video on the topic that’s never coming?

    Bitcoin is in a good place in its long-term cycle and on the calendar. Despite the expected volatility, its value will most likely increase significantly during the year. Institutional investors are buying bitcoin every second, so it's still a bargain below $80,000, get it while it's hot
  • @mkb6418
    So Windows shifted from a technology company to a technology fund. It makes sense to be honest. Microsoft was never intended to create an OS, and was never intended to become a fund, but... well that's life
  • @cyberrb25
    I feel Nadella is doing the old Gates play, but as they're no longer the biggest player in the current segment of interest (mobile, and sometimes social networks), they're just out of the antitrust hammer.

    I think the Satya era can be split into two periods, cloud focus (Azure and MS Office 365) that propelled them dorm a dying company to second-tier behind Facebook, Apple, Google, and Amazon, and then the post-pandemic AI boom that pushed them to #1.
  • So would these quasi-mergers make microsoft a sort of tech-focused investment firm? They are utilising their large amount of capital resources into tech startups in hopes they would success and microsoft would then gain benefits from it.
  • @thripnixe
    All now microsoft needs is a new xbox ceo
  • @guss77
    Microsoft now runs more Linux instances than Windows...
  • @obvinpro
    Enterprise money can't be compared to your average consumer money, ask NVIDIA.
  • @okman9684
    I think microsoft is better at dodging politics. We haven't see Satya in any DOJ hearing. They literally brought all CEOs of major companies but surprisingly not from Microsoft
  • @chicitizen
    Now if they could just fix their gaming division.
