What is Microsoft doing?

In the world of digital infrastructure? Azure would be one big one. In this image, it would probably be a stone next to, or above AWS. Windows server and IIS, though that's not that important in the grand scheme of things (or is becoming less so each passing year). MS-SQL is still a thing. .NET and its frameworks are a bit more important and lower down on this graph, luckily they're also open source now. Having a stone as separate floating by itself is a little disingenuous if not ignorant, but we can forgive OP, since it is Microsoft :)
