Google and Microsoft spent a combined $3.4B on infrastructure last quarter

Google and Microsoft both announced their latest quarterly earning on Thursday, and while neither was ideal from an investor point of view, both companies did invest large sums of money into building out their web infrastructure. Microsoft invested $1.79 billion in "property and equipment" during its fiscal fourth quarter, while Google's second quarter saw it invest $1.61 billion.
