And the business alliance claims that Microsoft's actions fall into this category. However, any act that causes a company to abuse its position in a dominant market can violate the law.
It is not illegal under EU competition law for Microsoft to prioritize its services over competing services on Windows. Microsoft's market share growth wasn't due to its technical and sales benefits, but to its ongoing bundles of Windows and its services, Nextcloud et al. Specifically, Microsoft has expanded its market share in the EU to 66%, while EU service providers appear to have reduced its market share from 26% to 16%.

Nextcloud, the leader of the corporate alliance, will limit users' choices and offer competing services by Microsoft offering its services in bundles on Windows 10 and Windows 11 and encouraging users to sign up for Microsoft accounts. Several European-based companies, including Nextcloud, have formed a coalition to open a website called 'Coalition for a Level Playing Field' and formally complain about Microsoft's anti-competitive behavior.
