I feel as if Microsoft is regaining IT's respect just in time for the shift to cloud computing. Even during the dark years with Vista the vast majority of my customers continued to trust Microsoft oriented networks. Exchange, SQL, Windows Server and the rest of Microsoft's server products remain in high demand. I could be wrong but I think Azure will continue Microsoft's string of server oriented successes though from a cloud perspective. I have to side with Carl here.

Azure is already connecting with ISVs. Open source and closed source options will be widely available on Azure. Microsoft is about to build another empire but I'm not sure Azure will be "big enough" to offset the continued erosion of Microsoft's desktop dominance.
