"Microsoft to Split Teams from Office Amid Antitrust Pressure"

TL;DR Summary
Microsoft has announced that it will sell Teams separately from its Office suite globally, following pressure from European regulators. The decision comes after an antitrust complaint from Slack and a formal investigation by European regulators into Microsoft's bundling of Teams with Office 365 and Microsoft 365. The move aims to address concerns about competition and market position, allowing customers more flexibility in their purchasing choices. Starting April 1, customers will have the option to choose between bundled or separate subscriptions for Teams and Office products.
