EU investigating possible violation of competition rules
Microsoft could be facing new legal trouble in Europe, this time due to an investigation that could be aimed at the way the company is offering Microsoft Teams to customers.
A new report from Reuters reveals that the EU is currently “preparing the ground for an investigation,” as the antitrust watchdog wants to determine if Microsoft is indeed violating competition rules with Microsoft Teams.
As it turns out, the possible investigation is based on public criticism coming from Slack, which previously accused Microsoft of unfair practices by bundling Microsoft Teams with Microsoft 365.
According to the said source, the European Union has now relaunched an inspection of these claims, as the regulators want to get more information before making a final decision on a possible investigation.
