Microsoft charged with EU antitrust violations for bundling Teams

The Verge — June 25, 2024, 12:00 PM UTC

Microsoft is facing EU antitrust charges for bundling Teams with Office 365 and Microsoft 365. This is the first antitrust case against Microsoft in the EU in 15 years. The European Commission alleges that Microsoft is giving Teams an unfair advantage over competitors. If found guilty, Microsoft could face a fine of up to 10% of its annual turnover. Microsoft has unbundled Teams from Office in Europe but still faces charges.

Hi there!

Recently, I've added many new features to the premium subscription: country filters, email delivery, keyword blocking, and more. To reflect this, I'll be increasing the price from $10/month to $15/month.

But I want to say thank you to long-term readers who have supported the project all this time, even when it wasn't as polished. If you subscribe before December 7, I'll lock in the current price of $10/month for you.

Thank you for your support! See the new features on the premium page.
