Microsoft has successfully resolved its antitrust dispute with the European Union by agreeing to offer its productivity suites without the Teams application at a reduced price, addressing concerns about unfair competition. This move comes after complaints from competitors like Slack and a formal investigation by the European Commission. Microsoft’s stock saw a slight increase following the announcement, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s ability to navigate regulatory challenges.
In addition to regulatory developments, Microsoft is making strategic moves in the AI and cloud sectors. The company has entered into a $17.4 billion deal with Nebius to secure GPU capacity, ensuring it can meet the growing demand for its Azure services.
