Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is reportedly set to face an antitrust probe by European Union regulators over its Teams messaging software.
A statement of objections from the European Commission could come in short order, Politico reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.

The European Commission opened an investigation after Teams competitor, Slack, complained about unfair practices in 2020.
Slack, owned by Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), said Microsoft (MSFT) had unfairly integrated Teams, its Slack competitor, into Office. In addition, Slack said the EU should make Microsoft (MSFT) separate Teams from Office and sell it at a fair commercial price.
Microsoft (MSFT) and Salesforce (CRM) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft (MSFT) shares fell 3% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the tech giant forecast a slowdown in its Azure cloud computing service, leaving analysts to debate the health of the company.
