Commission seeks feedback on commitments offered by Microsoft over possible anticompetitive practices related to Teams
The European Commission invites comments on commitments offered by Microsoft to address competition concerns over tying its communication and collaboration product Teams to its popular productivity applications included in its suites for businesses Office 365 and Microsoft 365, such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook.
Under the proposed commitments, Microsoft would (i) make available versions of these suites without Teams and at a reduced price; (ii) allow customers to switch to suites without Teams, including in the framework of existing contracts; (iii) offer Teams' competitors increased interoperability with other Microsoft products; and (iv) allow customers to move their data out of Teams to facilitate the use of competing solutions. Interested parties are invited to submit their views on Microsoft's proposed commitments.
A press release is available online.
