I'm not sure about "mobile first", but Microsoft's "cloud first" strategy seems to be paying off:

Microsoft Corp reported better-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue on Thursday, helped by strong performance in its fast-growing cloud business. Shares of the world's largest software company rose more than 3 percent in after-hours trading, after touching a record high of $74.30 during the regular session.

Microsoft said revenue from its cloud unit, which includes the flagship Azure platform and server products, rose about 11 percent to $7.43 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30. Analysts on average had expected revenue of $7.32 billion, according to data and analytics firm FactSet.

Revenue from Azure nearly doubled in the quarter.

Microsoft Azure.

    Let's hope those customers are happy with sloppy IT practices and snooping galore.

    Instead, they should consider being snoopified by Google, IBM, or Amazon.
