Microsoft 'staking its future' on cloud computing

Around 70 per cent of Microsoft employees are working on cloud-related projects, and that figure will reach 90 per cent within a year, Mr Ballmer told an audience at the University of Washington. He said that he was "betting our company" on a move towards cloud-based software and services, and that there was "so much unrealised potential" in this sector.

"The cloud fuels Microsoft, and Microsoft fuels the crowd," he said. "We're all in."
