Microsoft a monopoly in 2025??

In what?

- operating systems? The Mac has over a 20% market share in the US. I haven’t used a Windows PC for work since 2017. I’ve used Macs across 4 companies

- Office Suites? GSuite has a higher market share and the company I work for now uses it.

- Chat? Slack has 25%.

Absolutely no one in the industry is afraid of Microsoft anymore

Azure, SQL, Dynamics and PowerBI come to mind. Together with the integration in the Microsoft 365 suite/page/ecosystem.

Azure is not a monopoly and not even the largest cloud provider. Sql Server/Dynamics and PowerBI aren’t exactly market leaders.

Just a quick internet search shows that PowerBI has around a 25% market share.
