Ha, bullshit. It’s always because they’re giving teams away for free with office 365.

I really have no idea how Microsoft has gotten away with this clear monopolistic abuse for so long. It's classic tying.

It's kinda sad that they went through the whole monopoly suit over a century ago and here we are in Windows 11 getting OneDrive notices crammed down our throats even when there's an active work Office 365 subscription on the damn machines. (... and now Teams ad notifications in the Office suite)

Sorry for forgetting the word 'decade', my point still stands.

EU antitrust already forced them to unbundle teams, in the EU. I'm not sure how much effect it will have in practice.

Yes. As opposed to giving Microsoft the same money and then also giving Slack some money too.
