Microsoft Decouples Teams from Office in Europe to Address EU Antitrust Concerns

Microsoft has announced plans to unbundle its chat and video app, Teams, from its Office product in an effort to address concerns raised by the European Commission regarding antitrust violations. The move comes after an investigation was launched following a complaint by Salesforce-owned rival Slack. However, rivals argue that Microsoft's proposed changes may not be enough to avoid potential fines, and the company may need to do more to satisfy regulatory concerns. The EU competition enforcer has taken note of Microsoft's announcement but has not provided further comment.
