PowerPoint isn't the problem, it's lack of understanding of how to use it well. PowerPoint is used as a crutch for poor teachers, in the hands of people who know how to use it, it's a very useful tool.

I suspect a lot of what they "loosing" in that section is huge CAPEX spending on their cloud data centers which is an investment in the future. You don't buy build somewhere like their Chicago data center for chump change.
