How to research MSFT

01
Azure and AI workload demand
Track Azure growth, AI contribution, capacity constraints, and whether enterprise workloads are moving from pilots into paid usage.

04
Enterprise software durability
Microsoft has several recurring revenue streams. The research task is to compare cloud, productivity, security, gaming, and AI spending without treating them as one uniform driver.
