Microsoft is currently not meeting its technical commitments stemming from a settlement agreement with the Cloud Infrastructure Service Providers of Europe (CISPE), which was designed to resolve a legal dispute over software licensing. CISPE had agreed to cease legal action last July, contingent on Microsoft making technical concessions to create a fair competitive environment. ECCO, an oversight body established under this agreement, reported that the status of the commitments is 'Amber/ Off-track,' indicating significant shortcomings, particularly in key areas of Hoster Product Development and Service Provider Licensing.
Last summer, CISPE and Microsoft came to an agreement that sought to end unfair software practices and to create new benefits for all European cloud infrastructure service providers.
The report classifies the overall 'status of the Microsoft MOU with CISPE as Amber/ Off-track,' indicating significant delays in meeting technical commitments.
