# Microsoft will separate Teams from the Office suite

> The European Commission announced that it accepted Microsoft's commitments to avoid antitrust fines for integrating Teams into Office 365 and Microsoft 365. Microsoft will offer a non-Teams version at a discounted price, ensuring data portability and interoperability with competing products. This decision restricts Microsoft from engaging in practices that could hinder competitors for seven years

The European Commission announced on Friday that it has accepted Microsoft's (MSFT.US) commitments to address concerns raised by the integration of Teams into the Office 365 and Microsoft 365 business suites, thereby avoiding a potential hefty antitrust fine. As a result, the company will offer non-Teams versions at discounted prices, achieve data portability, and ensure interoperability with competing products.

In July 2023, the European Commission launched an investigation into Microsoft for potentially abusing its dominant position in violation of EU competition law. The Commission stated that the latest decision imposes constraints on Microsoft's commitments for seven years or longer, requiring it to cease practices that may hinder competitors from effectively competing with Teams
