Germany's Bundeskartellamt is closely monitoring Microsoft for potential anti-competitive practices in cloud computing and AI, aiming for early intervention under German Competition Act.
Andreas Mundt stated that Microsoft's prevalent software products like Windows and Office have become indispensable, increasing the company's influence in various sectors.
Mundt emphasized that Microsoft's ecosystem is now more interconnected due to the increasing importance of cloud and AI, solidifying its dominant market position.
Google Cloud has filed a formal complaint against Microsoft, arguing that its licensing practices unfairly disadvantage competitors by imposing higher costs.
