Google said in an antitrust complaint filed Wednesday that Microsoft uses unfair licensing contracts in its Azure cloud computing business to stifle competition.

Google alleges that Microsoft, through its dominant Windows Server and Microsoft Office products, can make it difficult for its massive roster of clients to use anything but its Azure cloud infrastructure offering. The antitrust complaint from Google arrives after CISPE and its members in July agreed a settlement with Microsoft which would see the firm make changes to address competition concerns.

Google said that Microsoft undermined competition in cloud, and referred to findings of a U.K. Competition and Markets Authority study which determined Microsoft acquired over 60% to 70% of all new British businesses in 2021 and 2022. "We would like the cloud market to remain and become very vibrant and open for all the providers including European vendors, vendors like us, AWS and others," Zavery said.
