Microsoft has avoided an EU antitrust fine after offering concessions regarding its Teams and Office product bundling. An investigation, launched after a Slack complaint, alleged Microsoft abused its market dominance. Microsoft unbundled Teams in the EU and made further commitments, including a seven-year separation and increased interoperability information. The EU accepted these concessions, stating they promote competition. This decision highlights the EU's flexible approach to antitrust, balancing tough measures with agreements to resolve disputes.
