Better Buy: Salesforce vs. Microsoft

Salesforce is the market leader in customer relationship management (CRM) software, and it also provides cloud-based e-commerce, marketing, and analytics services. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Windows is the world's top operating system for PCs, and it's transformed its desktop-based productivity software -- including Office and Dynamics CRM -- into cloud-based services over the past few years. It also owns Azure, the world's second-largest cloud infrastructure platform.
