Microsoft settles CISPE antitrust complaint

BRUSSELS, July 10 (Reuters) – Microsoft has reached a settlement over a CISPE antitrust complaint over its cloud computing licensing practices, the U.S. technology giant and trade body said on Wednesday.

Microsoft will develop a product that will enable CISPE members to run Microsoft software on their platforms on the US tech giant’s Azure cloud infrastructure, at prices equal to Microsoft’s, CISPE said.

Microsoft will also compensate CISPE members for lost revenue related to licensing costs over the past two years, the group said. (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee; Editing by Toby Chopra)
