Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On March 28, 2020, Microsoft Corporation posted an entry on the Microsoft Azure
Blog, a site directed primarily at customers, partners, and other parties
interested in developments in Azure technologies and services. The post
contained, among other information, a statement that "We have seen a 775 percent
increase of our cloud services in regions that have enforced social distancing
or shelter in place orders." The metric in this statement was intended to refer
only to a specific cloud-based service, Teams calling and meeting monthly users,
in a specific country, Italy. The statement was not intended to provide
information about the performance of Azure and cloud services generally,
Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud segment, or Microsoft as a whole. We corrected the
blog entry to clarify the nature of this information on March 30, 2020. A copy
of the corrected blog is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and may be viewed at
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/update-2-on-microsoft-cloud-services-continuity/.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this
Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be
"filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that
section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration
statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
