Microsoft faces a hefty antitrust fine after the European Commission on Tuesday accused it of illegally linking its chat and video app Teams with its Office 365 suite of products including Word.
The allegations, which the US tech company can challenge, are the most serious it has faced since 2013 when it was hit with an unprecedented €561m (£474m) fine for failing to promote rivals to its Internet Explorer web browser.
