Google Files EU Antitrust Complaint Against Microsoft
By Sam Schechner
Google says it has filed a formal complaint against Microsoft with the European Union's top antitrust regulator, escalating a long-running dispute over the cloud-computing business.
In the complaint, the search giant accuses Microsoft of abusing its market power in enterprise software to push businesses to use its Azure cloud platform-and keep them locked in there.
The antitrust complaint is a turnaround for Google, which nearly two decades ago became a sustained target of EU antitrust action in part stemming from complaints supported by Microsoft. The two companies for a time made peace, but that accord has unraveled in recent years. This is the latest broadside.
Microsoft didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
