Microsoft has offered to sell its Office product without Teams cheaper than when bundled with Teams in Europe, as per EU antitrust regulators.
The European Commission is seeking feedback from rivals and customers before finalizing the decision on accepting the offer, which could resolve a long-standing antitrust case.
If accepted, the proposal would allow Europeans to purchase Office 365 and Microsoft 365 suites without Teams at a lower price, with a maximum price differential of 8 euros ($14).
The offer includes provisions for interoperability with Microsoft products, embedding Office web applications, and extracting Teams messaging data for use in competing solutions, with pricing offer validity for seven years and interoperability for 10 years.
