EU Launches Antitrust Investigation Into Microsoft Over Bundling of Teams

The European Commission has opened a formal antitrust probe into whether Microsoft's bundling of Teams with Office breaches competition rules.
The investigation follows complaints filed by competitors Slack and alfaview alleging Microsoft is illegally tying Teams to its dominant Office suite.
The Commission is concerned the bundling may limit customer choice and restrict competition in the workplace communication market.
Microsoft says it will cooperate fully with the investigation and is committed to addressing the Commission's concerns.
If found in breach, Microsoft could face significant fines up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
