EU Charges Microsoft with Antitrust Violations Over Teams Bundling

European regulators claim Microsoft's integration of Teams with Office 365 restricts competition and demands further changes.

• Microsoft faces potential fines up to 10% of its global revenue if found guilty.
• The European Commission's preliminary findings indicate Microsoft's unbundling efforts are insufficient.
• The investigation follows a 2020 complaint by Slack, now owned by Salesforce.
• Microsoft has a history of EU antitrust fines, with the last major case involving Internet Explorer.
• Competitors argue the bundling limits interoperability and stifles innovation.
