In recent times, Microsoft, one of the most talked-about companies, has once again attracted criticism in European countries for its cloud computing service prices. Some companies operating in the region have come together, alleging that Microsoft is pursuing an unfair pricing policy and not providing competitive conditions. We know that Microsoft was sued over this issue in 2022 as well. It seems that this issue will continue for a longer period. Here are all the details…
Is Microsoft trying to monopolize the Europe market?
According to complaints about Microsoft, the company offers its Azure service at discounted rates on Windows, while keeping the prices of its competitors’ cloud applications at an unreasonable level. Therefore, it is said that many users are forced to prefer Azure, thus causing significant harm to users in Europe. It is expressed that the company’s biggest fear is the intervention of the European Union in this matter.
European companies, who claim that Microsoft is trying to monopolize without considering user interests, believe that a comprehensive investigation into the company is urgently needed. The European Union, which implemented the Digital Marketing Regulation in the past weeks, has become a matter of curiosity whether it will intervene in the matter. Microsoft management has not made any statements regarding the issue at the moment. At the end of the day, we hope that the developments will be in the interest of the users.
