Amazon streamlined operations with cost cuts and layoffs, boosting profitability.

bonus question
microsoft will not lose its market share, at least not in the long tern. MSFT is a giant player and will be the first to transform the ai play into cashflow due to the ai applications of their ecosystem suite of products. Compared to unknown apps not yet available in the marketplace, MSFT has a much higher chance of succeeding
