Microsoft (MSFT.O) will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the U.S. tech giant said on Monday, six months after it unbundled the two products in Europe in a bid to avert a possible EU antitrust fine.

    this is all well and good when we’re talking about a properly elastic market (eg food)

    however, the supply of hosted enterprise video conference software is extremely limited (teams, zoom, google meet) and the demand is extremely high

    moreover, switching providers and reeducating the staff will also be highly expensive

    you can’t exactly go anywhere else, you just have to agree to whatever msft is doing
