Maybe in the 90s when Bill Gates was running the show. These days they're mid tier evil. Barely even maintaining a monopoly.
If it was Oracle, or Broadcom, or Meta then sure, but Microsoft aren't in their league any more.
The only way this assessment makes sense is if you're looking at specific industries or something. Meta can't compare to Microsoft in other areas. We have to use Teams and Office because all our customers do. Enterprise/Companies are integrated and bound to their tooling and user and system management.
Meta is localized. I don't see it even nearly as prevalent as Microsoft is.
