With the current tech atmosphere, so many people want to call Facebook, Google, and Apple monopolies and Microsoft sort of gets forgotten. Microsoft still has a ton of levers they can pull to influence buyers.

Microsoft has the ability to include teams as part of a bigger integrated bundle which businesses find more appealing.
