#2For what?
Microsoft is not really a dominant force in the server space.

MS is one of the major players in open compute and in the top three for cloud services.

#4They're not replacing Intel chips from the looks of it though, right?

Azure is one of the big three in cloud computing - Google, Amazon, and Microsoft

And they also run some pretty large things that could be run on ARM with no visible impact to customers. Bing, hosted Outlook, etc.

#7Competition is great, but this also seems like a rather big setback to the goal of having multi-cloud applications, in instances where the app can only run on x86-64.

Writing architecture-specific code is what would be a setback to that goal. Either write portable code, or be prepared to translate non-portable parts to new CPUs from time to time.
