Remember that this is, in large part, a restructuring of existing orgs and investments. I wouldn't interpret this as the starting gun for AI/deep-learning investments at Microsoft. There's been heavy R&D investment for years in this space making its way into products like Cortana, Bing, PowerBI, Skype, Cognitive Services, etc. Similarly, there's a non-public side to the results at Microsoft I'm sure. So I don't think catchup is a fair analysis.
