simply begging for antitrust charges
They’re not really in the dominant market position they were in back in the 90s.
Still wadi g back into to pool by overriding system settings forcing people to use your browser.
To be clear: I think this is appalling behaviour and I’m not defending it.
I just don’t think the DoJ will care.
Walk into an office building and show me where all the non Microsoft OS and office365 work is please
My current office, and my previous office was a mixture of windows, macs and iOS/android devices.
My previous role was the same.
Teams also isn’t in a monopoly position. There are plenty of alternatives which are in use and don’t force the use of edge.
They abuse their dominent market position as OS vendor in this case, I don’t see why their position in the internet nrowser market dhould matter for that!
Their desktop market share has dropped to 75%. That’s dominant but a far cry from the over 90% share they had during their antitrust trial.
Yea but it doesn’t change the fact that their office software and OS marketshare are massive!
They are in the office software space.
And the desktop OS space
Sure, but teams isn’t part of office.
Yes it is, it’s included in your office 365 enterprise subscription
