Such disruptions “underscore the dependence on Microsoft’s cloud – and the chaos when it hiccups,” as one report put it ts2.tech. Sensing an opening, Google is seizing the narrative: downtime isn’t an occasional blip but an ongoing risk with Microsoft – and Google wants to be the safety net, and ultimately the replacement.
