The Competition Commission (ComCo) has initiated a preliminary investigation against Microsoft. The background to this are price increases, particularly for Microsoft 365 (Word, Outlook, Teams), which, according to the authority, could provide evidence of unlawful restrictions of competition. After receiving corresponding complaints, the ComCo is now investigating whether there have been any violations of antitrust law. If the evidence is substantiated, the next step will be an official investigation.
