Copilot Under Scrutiny: How the UK Is Keeping Microsoft's AI in Check
UK competition authorities are launching a review of Microsoft's enterprise ecosystem in May 2026. The focus is how the company licenses Word, Excel and Copilot, and whether that scheme creates barriers for competitors. The question is not only about price, but also about whether the ecosystem locks customers into a single vendor. If the regulator finds a problem, Microsoft may face stricter rules for office suites and AI tools.
