Multiple angles to this hydra
Microsoft has been steadily attacked by niche companies over the last 7 to 10 years.
Add these companies together and you start to see the picture of alternative viable options to Microsoft that are cost-effective and "good enough" for many individuals and business including large verticals.
Currently the "cloud" is an incredibly disruptive force for many reasons. Microsoft is late to this table but they have an enormous appetite (and wallet).
From the psychological (or emotional aspect), Microsoft is no longer fresh. Apple, Google, and Twitter have encroached into this space with more companies joining everyday.
Cheers and happy holidays!
