Anti-trust is the reason a lot of the kinds of deals you’re talking about don’t happen.

I agree. If the anti-trust regime had been different Microsoft would have bought Databricks years ago. Satya Nadella has surely been tapping his foot watching their valuation grow and grow.

The Trump folks have given mixed messages on the Biden-era FTC; I'd put the odds that with the right tap dancing (sigh) Microsoft could make a blockbuster like this in the B2B space work.
