The coalition's complaints concern not only Microsoft, but also Amazon and Google. The coalition cites the controversy of the 1990s and the aggressive imposition of Internet Explorer on Windows as the default browser.
Their main complaint is the integration of OneDrive and Teams as default apps in Windows 11. It's almost impossible to compete with Microsoft's SaaS (software as a service) offerings, they said.
"Microsoft is integrating 365 deeper into its portfolio of services and software offerings," says a document from the coalition. The coalition advocates "a level playing field" and claims that Microsoft is anticompetitive in its approach to bundling its services with Windows. What are they complaining aboutĪ coalition of European companies led by Nextcloud GmbH has filed a formal complaint with the European Commission about how Microsoft is integrating its services, such as OneDrive, into the operating system. Last week, the news came about new complaint on the influence of a large American company, and the EU will again have to decide what to do. And, unfortunately, this misunderstanding comes from people who should be agents of change for the better. Some of the accusations against these companies are surprising, to say the least, and reveal a deep misunderstanding of how the Internet works. American tech companies are increasingly gaining influence in the European market, and Brussels is trying to contain this growth in various ways.
