Microsoft: Partly Cloudy

2024-11-06T21:28:20+02:00

Microsoft is the OG when it comes to enterprise computing.

Even Bing is somehow managing to increase in popularity thanks to AI! Behind all this excitement lies an important reality: the data centre investment cycle is very different to the software-as-a-service predictability that Microsoft investors are accustomed to. Will this impact the valuation over time?
