   UK CMA proposes strategic market status for Microsoft business software, eyes Copilot

   The UK Competition and Markets Authority on October 16 proposed giving Microsoft a Strategic Market Status designation in business software and opened a consultation, with feedback due November 13 and a final decision expected by February 2027. The CMA said Microsoft holds a strong position in all five areas it examined — PC operating systems, productivity software, security software, server operating systems and relational database management — and that switching barriers and bundling practices may limit rivals. It will further examine whether customers can freely choose AI tools and whether competitors can take on Copilot, along with security-software bundling and how licensing affects cloud choice; Microsoft said all its products, including Copilot, are open and interoperable.
