Money quote:

"[...] Amazon's market share for its AWS has slipped to 41.5% this year, compared with more than 60% share that it held at the end of 2017. During the same period, Microsoft's Azure's share has steadily climbed to 29.4%."

Cloud also means = Server Licenses and Office365. It's a very broad word for Microsoft. Not purely apples to oranges.

That’s how Microsoft reports its earnings, but these outside analyses of market share are hopefully not doing something nearly that dumb, it would make the whole thing pointless.

Heck I am in middle of a migration to Azure from AWS right now. It’s not huge ~50k/mo but it adds to the story.
