IMO, Teams is a logical extension of the Office tool suite and had every right to be bundled. I suspect there is a whole bevvy of bureaucrats in the EU whos sole job has been to bring anti trust legislation against Microsoft for the last 30 years - somehow funding itself, not preventing a Monopoly, and failing to create a more competitive marketplace.

This was confusing to read. Are you pro-monopoly? That's the only way I can read this...
I’m pro features that make sense for digital workers and Teams is just a set of features that make sense.

My comment is more about how ineffective this type of rent seeking has been against Microsoft for the last 3 decades.

It "makes sense" only after Slack made it make sense.

I agree that the regulation has been incompetent. That's a different matter though. In this case, the reaction was way too slow. The war is already over and now they start to move troops.
