Today, Microsoft is facing an antitrust lawsuit of over $1 billion in the united kingdom, accusing Microsoft of retaliating against thousands of uk businesses using amazon, google, and alibaba cloud computing services, demanding that they pay higher licensing fees to use Windows Server software. Antitrust lawyer Maria Luisa Stasi filed the lawsuit on Tuesday with the Competition Appeal Tribunal, seeking over £1 billion (approximately $1.27 billion) in damages for the affected uk businesses and organizations. Stasi stated in the lawsuit: 'In short, Microsoft is punishing UK businesses and organizations that use google, amazon, and alibaba cloud services, forcing them to pay higher fees for Windows Server. Through this practice, Microsoft is trying to force customers to use its cloud computing service Azure, thereby restricting competition in the industry.' (Sina Technology)
