Yet another weird one from Microsoft's film department. But the argument they're making is 100% valid: Cloud apps are not safe for business use. If Google's service goes down, my business goes down. That's unacceptable.

The hypocrisy is that Microsoft is encouraging users to move to cloud versions of Office, which would be subject to the same risks and dangers as Google apps. Clearly whoever commissioned this movie isn't communicating properly with their cloud services team.
It is no secret that the internal divisions within Microsoft are operated independently... Each product has to compete for internal budgets on their own merits. I seem to remember that The big three are Windows, office and XBox... I have little doubt that the online services division is treated like a red headed stepchild compared to the cash cow that is office!
