Dispute over Teams
Microsoft offers EU Office price adjustment
According to insiders, Microsoft has offered the EU price changes for its Office software in order to avert a possible antitrust fine. According to the proposal, the prices for the widely used program package with and without the Teams chat and conferencing program should differ more in future.
Three people familiar with the matter told the news agency Reuters. The legal dispute, which has been ongoing for years, arose because manufacturers of competing Teams products had complained about the pricing.
Teams was added to Office 365 free of charge in 2017 and became increasingly important during the coronavirus pandemic. Microsoft decoupled Teams from Office in 2023.
Office without Teams is sold for two euros less per month than with the conference app. The company lists the price for Teams as a standalone product at five euros per month.
