UK regulators set their sights on Microsoft's (MSFT.US) business software: bundling and Copilot in focus

Zhito Finance APP has learned that the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said on Friday that Microsoft's (MSFT.US) control over business software is making it harder for customers to switch suppliers, and therefore proposed stricter regulation of the tech giant. The CMA said it will decide by February next year whether to designate Microsoft as having "strategic market status." Once designated, the CMA will have the authority to intervene in areas such as cloud licensing, AI productivity tools, and security software.
