Regulator Inggris meluncurkan penyelidikan atas praktik bundling Microsoft Office

Otoritas Persaingan dan Pasar (CMA) Inggris akan memulai investigasi resmi bulan ini terhadap praktik perangkat lunak bisnis Microsoft. Para pejabat bertujuan untuk menilai apakah penggabungan produk seperti Windows, Word, Excel, Teams, dan Copilot membatasi persaingan.

Penyelidikan ini akan memeriksa posisi Microsoft di pasar tersebut dan praktik lisensi cloud-nya. Investigasi ini bertujuan untuk menentukan apakah langkah-langkah terarah diperlukan guna melindungi pilihan, inovasi, dan harga bagi pengguna di Inggris. Kepala Eksekutif CMA, Sarah Cardell, mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan bahwa ratusan ribu penduduk bergantung pada perangkat lunak perusahaan tersebut setiap harinya.
