Investing.com -- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s proposal to increase the price difference between its Office product sold with Teams, its chat and video app, and the software sold without the app, is set to be accepted by European Union antitrust regulators, according to a Reuters report on Wednesday.
This acceptance would conclude a protracted case initiated by a complaint from Slack, owned by Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), in 2020. The case could have led to a substantial antitrust penalty for the U.S. tech behemoth.
In the coming months, the European Commission is expected to solicit feedback from Microsoft’s competitors and customers regarding the company’s proposal, the report added.
