Microsoft (MSFT.O) will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the U.S. tech giant said on Monday, six months after it unbundled the two products in Europe in a bid to avert a possible EU antitrust fine.

Its only freedom if there's actual choice involved.

The scale at which these sales are made has nothing to do with the average consumer. Its just mega corps crunching numbers.

And that really only has to do with share prices, none of it trickles down to the actual workers.

This is just rich people having slap fights.
