Le régulateur britannique ouvre une enquête sur les pratiques de vente groupée de Microsoft Office

L'Autorité britannique de la concurrence et des marchés (CMA) entamera ce mois-ci une enquête formelle sur les pratiques commerciales de Microsoft concernant ses logiciels. Les autorités cherchent à évaluer si la vente groupée de produits tels que Windows, Word, Excel, Teams et Copilot limite la concurrence.

L'enquête examinera la position de Microsoft sur ces marchés ainsi que ses pratiques en matière de licences cloud. Elle vise à déterminer si des mesures ciblées sont nécessaires pour préserver le choix, l'innovation et les prix pour les utilisateurs britanniques. Des centaines de milliers de résidents utilisent quotidiennement les outils de l'entreprise, a déclaré Sarah Cardell, directrice générale de la CMA, dans un communiqué.
