Your title topic
Is Azure an indication Microsoft is becoming an SaaS company?

In one sense, Yes: Microsoft has wanted to turn software into a subscription service for a long time.

In another sense, No: Microsoft still treats the desktop as the place from which all good things come.

A telephone allows you to find out about recent events and even obtain some basic information. But sometime you will have to return to your desk.

Anything that looks like a telephone, even one with a keyboard, is a telephone.
