Microsoft, a company that already has a market cap of over 2.4 trillion, is getting even richer. According to an internal document seen by Business Insider (alternate link), the Windows and Xbox maker has won itself a major new customer in the form of Amazon, who, according to the note, has already committed more than $1 billion to Microsoft over the next five years as part of a comprehensive switch to Microsoft 365—a set of cloud productivity tools from the company that includes all of the popular Office apps and more. Amazon is said to have already purchased more than 1 million license seats for the software, and employees are expected to switch over from local Office products in early 2024.

So simple math ... 1 billion dollars / 1 million seats = 1000 dollars per seat. Seems a bit excessive. At least now we know how our Prime subscriptions rate increases are being spent.
