Reply to comment by LiquidMotion in Microsoft says the global energy crisis can cost the company $800 million more in energy costs this year by chrisdh79

Microsoft's increased costs running their datacentres will be passed onto consumers of their services.

A larger percentage of businesses use Microsoft Azure.

A lot of reddit uses Xbox services.

It's bad news all round
