Microsoft Faces £1 Billion UK Antitrust Lawsuit Over Cloud Licensing
Dec 3, 2024, 11:12 AM
Microsoft Corp. is facing a £1 billion ($1.27 billion) antitrust lawsuit in the UK, alleging that the company unfairly charges businesses higher fees to run its Windows Server software on rival cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Alibaba. The lawsuit, filed by a US law firm with the UK's Competition Appeal Tribunal, claims that Microsoft's practices result in overcharging for cloud services, potentially affecting thousands of businesses. This legal action is part of a broader scrutiny of Microsoft's cloud licensing practices, which some argue stifles competition in the cloud computing market.
