Microsoft recently announced that it would implement significant revisions and upgrades to its outsourcing and hosting terms to benefit partners and customers globally starting from the 1st of October.
The company is making the changes based on customer feedback and preventing an antitrust investigation from the European Union. According to a Microsoft Partner blog post, the changes have three primary goals:
- Ease migration to the partner cloud by expanding use rights to allow customers to run their software, including Windows 11, on hosters’ multitenant servers and more easily license virtual machines for Windows Server.
