Rivals demand more action from Microsoft on antitrust issues.

Microsoft's initial offer to address EU antitrust complaints filed by rivals is insufficient, according to German software provider Nextcloud and French cloud computing services provider OVHcloud. The complaints focus on Microsoft's cloud practices and licensing deals, as well as the bundling of its OneDrive cloud storage service with its Windows 10 and 11 operating system. Resolving the complaints could help Microsoft stave off a possible EU antitrust investigation that could lead to a fine as much as 10% of its global turnover.
