Microsoft breached antitrust rules by bundling Teams with office software, European Union says

Microsoft has been accused by the European Union of violating antitrust rules by bundling its Teams messaging and video conferencing app with its business software. The European Commission believes that Microsoft restricted competition by tying Teams to core office productivity applications and not giving customers a choice. The Commission is concerned that this gives Teams an unfair advantage over competitors and inhibits innovation in the market. Microsoft has made some changes in response but the Commission says more needs to be done. The company could face a fine or be required to implement remedies. Rival company Slack has filed a complaint alleging that Microsoft abused its dominance.
