European Commission opens investigation into anticompetitive practices by Microsoft
"It's deja-vu all over again"... Yes, it's official, Microsoft are being investigated for anticompetitive practices, again. This time over their bundling of products into their collaborative-in-name-only Teams offering. It's happened before and they've been convicted before but unlike IBM, who operated under a consent decree that lasted 45 YEARS, Microsofts punishment was very much a slap on the wrist effort. As a result they've been able to skew the market towards their product sets to the detriment of the industry as a whole.
