EU Charges Microsoft with Abusive Antitrust Violations Over Teams Bundling with Office Suite
Jun 25, 2024, 01:31 PM
The European Union has charged Microsoft with antitrust violations for bundling its Teams video conferencing app with its Office suite, including Office 365 and Microsoft 365. The EU alleges that this bundling practice gives Teams an undue advantage over competitors such as Slack and Zoom and constitutes abusive bundling. This marks the first antitrust charges against Microsoft in over a decade. The European Commission has issued a statement of objections, indicating that Microsoft's recent steps to unbundle Teams from some products are insufficient to address competition concerns. If found guilty, Microsoft could face a hefty fine for abusing its market power.
