Slack and its parent Salesforce filed a lawsuit against Microsoft in a LONDON court (April 2026), accusing it of illegally bundling Teams with Office to squeeze out competition — the same underlying conduct that got Microsoft investigated for antitrust violations decades earlier with Internet Explorer.
