A UK lawsuit is seeking more than £1 billion ($1.2 billion) in compensation for what is being described as overcharges to use alternative cloud solutions. Microsoft allegedly makes it difficult and expensive to use Windows Server and Office products on non-Azure cloud infrastructure. Google filed a similar complaint with the EU recently and the FTC is also looking into Microsoft’s cloud licensing.

The Microsoft 365 app icon is changing for some reason.
Microsoft’s head of Experiences & Devices, Rajesh Jha, just quietly announced a strange change to Microsoft 365 at Ignite today.
“Over the next couple of months we will change the Microsoft 365 app icon to the new Microsoft 365 Copilot icon,” says Jha. The new icon is identical to the Copilot one, instead of the blue and purple Microsoft 365 icon that’s used right now. Microsoft has been struggling with its Copilot branding recently.
