Would you choose the Microsoft stack today if starting greenfield?
Serious question.
Outside government or heavily regulated enterprise, what is Microsoft’s core value prop in 2026?
It feels like a lot of adoption is inherited — contracts, compliance, enterprise trust, existing org gravity. Not necessarily technical preference.
If you were starting from scratch today with no legacy, no E5 contracts, no sunk cost — how many teams would actually choose the full MS stack over best-of-breed tools?
Curious what people here have actually chosen in greenfield builds.
