Microsoft Forms Pact With VMware to Keep Up With Amazon

Microsoft Corp. unveiled a partnership with VMware Inc. in a bid to bring more customers to its Azure cloud-computing service, emulating a pact that has benefited rival Amazon.com Inc.

The agreement will let VMware customers move their technology systems to Microsoft’s Azure cloud-computing services, the companies said Monday in a statement. Amazon Web Services, the leader in the market for cloud services, struck a partnership with VMware in 2016 to lure customers of the virtualization software maker to AWS.

But if you want them $ , you got to accept the competing product too. But MS has accepted that people use other products (look at their Azure platform, you can run any type of OS/Product)... so not surprised by this move at all.
