Microsoft to Unbundle Teams from Office Worldwide in Response to Antitrust Pressure

TL;DR Summary
Microsoft is separating Teams from Office 365 globally in response to ongoing antitrust pressure, allowing existing customers to maintain their current bundles while offering new pricing options. The move follows an EU investigation into whether the bundling violated competition rules, prompted by a complaint from Slack. Despite this change, Microsoft still faces the possibility of antitrust charges and potential fines of up to 10 percent of its global annual turnover.
