⚠️ Heads up: this article is from our "experimental era" — a beautiful mess of enthusiasm ✨, caffeine ☕, and user-submitted chaos 🤹. We kept it because it’s part of our journey 🛤️ (and hey, everyone has awkward teenage years 😅).
A group of 27 European cloud infrastructure providers has confronted Microsoft with an ultimatum, demanding an end to alleged unfair competition practices.

This intensifies the pressure on Microsoft, amidst ongoing scrutiny from EU and US authorities. AWS and Google have also raised concerns about Microsoft's practices. The tech giant is yet to respond to the matter.
