The UK’s antitrust watchdogs are taking Microsoft to court over the
way it gives its own cloud service a discount for offering Windows
Server, while forcing competitors to pay more <https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/big-tech/microsoft-facing-usd2-8-billion-uk-lawsuit-for-overcharging-60-000-businesses-using-microsoft-server-on-other-clouds-azure-users-allegedly-recieved-lower-wholesale-pricing>.

The fact that it’s only a few billion reflects the fact that Windows
is only a small part of the cloud these days -- and that applies to Microsoft’s cloud as well. The vast majority of cloud apps are running
on Linux.
