@arstechnica Teams is the worst against competition. Windows is the worst against competition. Heck, Microsoft office is maybe the only product that's not the worst than the options out there

@arstechnica Microsoft is unbundling Teams and Office apps worldwide, a move influenced by EU scrutiny after Slack's complaint of market dominance abuse. This separation allows new customers to purchase Teams and Office apps separately, potentially benefiting competitors like Slack and Zoom. Prices for new subscriptions vary, with Teams starting at $5.25 and Office apps at $7.75 per user per month. This strategy aims to ensure fair competition and respond to regulatory pressures.
