Microsoft announced plans to increase its data center capacity in Europe by 40% over the next two years, positioning itself as a conciliatory force amid US-EU tensions. While facing challenges like network congestion and varying levels of service adoption in Europe, Microsoft aims to comply with European laws and foster stable relations. President Brad Smith emphasized the importance of local regulations, highlighting a shift away from the typical resistance seen from other American tech giants.
"We understand that European laws apply to our business practices in Europe, just as local laws apply to local practices in the United States," Smith stated, emphasizing compliance.
Microsoft's expansion into Europe signals its desire to embrace the region, contrasting with current tensions under the US administration regarding international trade and technology.
