American multinational technology conglomerate Microsoft has been hit with a $1.25 billion antitrust lawsuit by the United Kingdom Competition Appeal Tribunal.
The allegations in the class-action lawsuit center on the costs that Microsoft paid companies and other entities for Windows Server licensing when they were users of competing cloud computing platforms.
Customers of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Alibaba Cloud, and Amazon’s AWS allegedly had to pay more to use Microsoft’s software than those of its own Azure cloud computing service, according to the lawsuit.
