EU accuses Microsoft of monopoly by bundling Teams with Office 365 suite

News from this site on June 25, local time on Tuesday, the EU antitrustregulator announced a lawsuit against Microsoft, accusing it of illegally bundling Teams with its Office products, violating EU antitrust regulations . The European Union's antitrustregulator noted that Microsoft's recent move to unbundle the bundle was insufficient and more work needed to be done. "The Commission initially believes that these changes are not sufficient to address its concerns and that more changes to Microsoft's behavior are needed to restore competition." This site's query found that Teams was added to Office 365 in 2017 and subsequently replaced Skype for Business. Due to the large number of remote workers who need to use its video conferencing function during the epidemic, the popularity of Teams has surged in some areas. In July 2020, Slack, a subsidiary of Salesforce, filed a complaint with the European Union on this basis, accusing Microsoft of bundling Teams with the market-leading Office and engaging in anti-competitive behavior. In response, Microsoft said it would split the Teams software in Europe. But since this measure failed to satisfy EU regulators, Microsoft still needs to continue to find solutions to address its concerns.
