I've been trying to find Microsoft azure sales for years. As it is cool tech but could never figure out is it was actually selling. This report is no better in its obfuscation. First they state 12bil annualized run rate, ie they made 1 billion in june their best month. then they say "we are on track to achieve $20 billion in commercial cloud annualized revenue run rate in fiscal year 2018.". why not say actual revenue but that's just me. but the kicker is I suspect that a large chunk of this revenue is office 365. and can office 365 really be considered new revenue source and not just a migration from other office sales.

I'd say it's both a new revenue source and migration. But what is wrong about that?
