Google accuses Microsoft of unfair competition in cloud computing dispute.

Google complained to the European Union about Microsoft. Google says that Microsoft is being unfair in the way it sells its cloud computing services. This is because Microsoft makes it difficult for businesses to use other cloud providers, like Google Cloud.

Google says that Microsoft's actions make it more expensive for businesses to use cloud computing. This is because businesses are forced to use Microsoft Azure, even if other providers are better or cheaper. Google also says that Microsoft's practices make businesses less secure because they are locked into using only one provider.

Microsoft has already made deals with some European cloud providers to address similar concerns. Microsoft believes that Google's complaint will not be successful. Microsoft says that it is committed to fair competition and that it is confident that its practices are legal.

The European Commission is the group that investigates antitrust complaints in the European Union. They will now look at Google's complaint and decide if Microsoft has done anything wrong. If the European Commission finds that Microsoft has broken the law, it could be fined a large amount of money.

Google says that Microsoft is making it harder for businesses to switch between cloud providers. This is because Microsoft is imposing financial penalties on businesses that use their Windows Server software on other cloud platforms. Google also says that this practice makes businesses more vulnerable to security risks, because they are reliant on a single provider.
