Microsoft's Antitrust Violations through Bundling Strategy

The chapter explores Microsoft's bundling strategy that has raised antitrust concerns in the EU, particularly focusing on how bundling products like Teams with Office is affecting competition in the market. It analyzes the consequences of offering seemingly free products like Teams and integrating them into bundles to dominate enterprise software, drawing parallels with historical cases like Microsoft-Internet Explorer-Netscape. The discussion emphasizes the need for regulatory bodies to review such practices to ensure fair competition and consumer welfare in the tech ecosystem.
