Microsoft splits up the Teams and Office apps worldwide, following EU split: Changes may save a bit of money for people who want Office apps without Teams.
arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/bowing-to-pressure-microsoft-unbundles-teams-from-microsoft-365-worldwide/

- The separation follows an EU regulatory investigation that started in July 2023, and Microsoft may yet be fined.
- Currently, the changes only affect the Microsoft 365 plans for the Business, Enterprise, and Frontline versions of Microsoft 365.
