Legal spat over alleged Microsoft license abuses may reopen
Briefly

Microsoft must deliver a multi-tenant hybrid cloud for European service providers within weeks after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with CISPE. This agreement aims to address the higher costs of running Windows Server outside Azure. Project delays have raised concerns, as independent assessments indicate Microsoft is far behind schedule. The development of a 'Hoster Product' with full multi-tenancy capabilities is proving complicated and time-consuming. Without timely completion, Microsoft may face renewed scrutiny from smaller competitors and legal disputes.
Deadline is just after Easter. Microsoft almost certainly won't make the product in time. Microsoft underestimated the time and effort it would take to work.
These features are not easy, either they're built in the product from the beginning, or it's very, very difficult.
It’s quite a job to convert one product, single tenant into multi-tenant. An oversubscription is not easy either.
Microsoft signed a Memorandum of Understanding with trade group CISPE to settle a dispute over the higher cost of running Windows Server outside of Azure.
