I'd argue that Office has competition in the form of GSuite, which has collaborative features
So how much market share does Office have to lose to GSuite before Microsoft can implement features that their competitor has?
Put another way, does a dominant market player have to stagnate in order to avoid breaking antitrust law, rather than anticipating the needs of their customers to make their product more useful?
- arlcode 2y agoI cannot speak about when office (and Windows) would be considerd "small" enough to not fall under these law. For now not even Microsoft makes this argument. As far as I know they can innovate on the actual product as much as they want. Teams itself may be the best software product ever. The issue lies in Microsoft using it's ownership of Office and Windows to "force"/"sell" it to customers. The details of what that means exactly will be decided by a court.
