Exclusive-Microsoft to separate Teams and Office globally amid antitrust scrutiny
==========
Microsoft will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, six months after unbundling the two products in Europe to avoid an EU antitrust fine. The European Commission has been investigating Microsoft's tying of Office and Teams since a 2020 complaint by Salesforce-owned competing workspace messaging app Slack. Microsoft's unbundling may not be enough to stave off EU antitrust charges, which could result in a fine of up to 10% of its global annual turnover. Starting April 1, customers can choose to continue with their current licensing deal, renew, update, or switch to new offers.
