Google Paid $512 Mn To Derail Microsoft's Antitrust
Briefly

CISPE alleged that Microsoft made it difficult for clients to change service providers by integrating its software with Azure, but dropped the case after a deal outside court.
Google offered €455 million worth of cloud software licenses for 5 years to European cloud firms to continue fighting Microsoft. Amazon also financially backed the case by $6 million.
Microsoft settled the antitrust case by offering enhanced Azure features to CISPE firms outside court, along with a €10 million financial contribution. Microsoft AWS is a founding member of CISPE.
