So this is the same Slack that wrote a love letter [0] to Microsoft about competing with them and now they are crying to the EU to investigate them over Teams because they failed.

Sounds like a chicken blaming the wolf for eating them after inviting it to a dinner party. After all, they asked for it.

Teams being bundled with Office, which seems to be bundled (at least in some form) with Windows, and with Windows 11 having forced teams integration alongside renewed anti browser choice shenanigans?

Totally some fair competition and not MS embracing and extending old strategies...

Slack filed a complaint with EU antitrust regulators regarding Microsoft's anti-competitive practices of integrating Teams with Office.

This is a repeat of Microsoft force-feeding everyone IE, a case where Microsoft was already found guilty of abusing it's monopoly.

Upon reading this my first thought was also about said love letter. I guess they’re not that eager about the competition anymore. Or perhaps they figured out that competition does not necessarily equate to fair play.

If you're going to claim that Microsoft including Teams in Windows is "competing" then Slack is simply "competing" by utilising the EU.
