Microsoft's ambitious end-to-end computing strategy may be more than it can handle

[Windows Central]

Microsoft's a big company with big dreams, but is it biting off more than it can chew?
From making Azure the "world's computer" to building category-defining, aspirational hardware to inspire an entire industry of devices, Microsoft wants it all.

Microsoft's ubiquitous computing vision is a comprehensive end-to-end strategy. The company aims to build the cloud foundation that will manage cross-platform digital experiences across billions of enterprise and consumer devices connected to its intelligent edge. And it's dedicated to providing cross-platform apps and to being a "devbox" for cross-platform app development.
Complementing this cloud and software foundation, the company's hardware goals focus on supplying first- and third-party devices as "access points" to its ever-expanding intelligent cloud and web-based products and services. No other company is as dedicated to creating an all-encompassing intelligent cloud platform, supplying a range of professional and personal productivity web-based tools like Microsoft 365, providing cross-platform apps and development platforms, and building a range of category-defining hardware.

Microsoft's approach is commendable, but is it trying to do too much?
