Microsoft Windows Server Cloud Licensing Competition Lawsuit

About this case
A class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of approximately 60,000 UK businesses alleges that Microsoft charged higher wholesale prices for Windows Server when licensed for competing cloud platforms than when used with Microsoft's Azure service, increasing costs for customers of rival platforms. The Competition Appeal Tribunal rejected Microsoft's request to have the case dismissed, and the matter is proceeding to trial; the allegations remain disputed and no final determination has been made.
