We have decided to withdraw the complaint against Microsoft with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition. We filed the complaint together with about 30 other organizations in 2021 against the bundling of OneDrive with Windows. Since filing the complaint there has not been any noticable progress. Given the lack of interest from the European Commission, lengthy process and costs on our side, Nextcloud decided to withdraw the complaint.

The Commission is about as captured by the big tech as the US Congress.

So they retracted their complaint:

  • not because they agree with Microsoft (fortunately)
  • and also not because the issue was solved (unfortunately)
  • but because they can't afford to keep the legal team fighting for the complaint (VERY unfortunately)
