A £1 billion lawsuit has been filed against Microsoft at the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) by a British competition lawyer.
The lawsuit alleges that Microsoft overcharges customers who use Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or Alibaba Cloud instead of its own Azure.
Specifically, Microsoft is accused of overcharging customers for licensing Window Server when using rival cloud platforms.
The complaint aims to challenge Microsoft's anti-competitive behavior and seek compensation for UK businesses and organizations that have been unfairly overcharged.
