Οι αρχές επιβολής της αντιμονοπωλιακής νομοθεσίας της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης σχεδιάζουν να ξεκινήσουν μια αντιμονοπωλιακή έρευνα στη Microsoft για την υπηρεσία βίντεο και μηνυμάτων Teams, reports today Politico:
An investigation based on a 2020 complaint by Slack will pit Microsoft against the EU, which is preparing a formal audit of the company. The move comes about a decade after the end of a long-running antitrust dispute over its abuse of its position as a powerful software vendor to promote new products and services.
Οι αξιωματούχοι της ΕΕ επικεντρώνονται σε καταγγελίες που αναφέρουν ότι είναι άδικο από την Microsoft να συνδέει το Microsoft Teams και άλλο λογισμικό με την ευρέως χρησιμοποιούμενη σουίτα Office.
The European Commission intends to quickly escalate the investigation and is preparing a list of objections with competition problems that exist with the company's conduct.
In recent weeks the EU has sent requests to competitors and Microsoft customers requesting evidence that he intends to use in the investigation. Such access requests are often a prelude to the initiation of a formal investigation.
