Allegations that software giant gained ‘undue advantage’ by bundling video conferencing app with Office are first such charges against it in over a decade
Brussels has accused Microsoft of anti-competitive behaviour by bundling its Teams app with its Office suite, in the first such antitrust charges brought against the tech group in more than a decade. The European Commission on Tuesday handed the world’s most valuable public company a charge sheet outlining concerns that Microsoft had given the video conferencing app Teams an “undue advantage”, harming rivals such as Slack and Zoom.
” In April, Microsoft issued concessions aimed at trying to avert regulatory action, including widening plans to unbundle Teams from other software such as Office beyond Europe. However, officials did not think the move went far enough to enable competition in the market.
