Microsoft Weaponized LinkedIn Ownership to Destroy Competitor's Strategic Partnerships

OpexIT threatened Microsoft's $200B+ monopoly with $49.80/month reseller model. Microsoft eliminated 21 years of professional contacts when strategic partnerships were developing.

ACCC Investigation REF4661996 - Documented Anti-Competitive Behavior

What Actually Happened

OpexIT.Services launched in March 2024 with a revolutionary business model: resellers earn $49.80 monthly recurring revenue per customer, democratizing profits that Microsoft concentrates at corporate level.

By September 2024, OpexIT.Services had gained direct access to industry leaders who could validate and scale our competitive threat:

  • Frank Karlitschek - CEO of Nextcloud, Microsoft's direct cloud competitor
  • Mark Shuttleworth - Founder of Ubuntu, challenging Microsoft's desktop dominance
  • Verge.io leadership - Infrastructure innovators disrupting Microsoft's enterprise stack

Microsoft observed these partnership developments through LinkedIn data - they own the platform and can monitor competitive intelligence in real-time.

Within 48 hours of OpexIT.Services strategic partnership announcements, Microsoft eliminated our entire LinkedIn presence. Twenty-one years of professional contacts, 2,700 connections essential for channel partner recruitment, premium subscriber status - destroyed without explanation or appeal process.

Microsoft breached their premium subscriber contract without justification. As a paying customer with clean 21-year history, they violated their own terms of service. They simply didn't care about contract obligations - that's how threatened they felt by OpexIT.Services.

By now, Paul Harris and OpexIT.Services are discussed at Microsoft's boardroom level. When a trillion-dollar corporation risks antitrust violations and breaches paying customer contracts to eliminate a competitor, executive leadership is directly involved in the decision.

The timing proves deliberate anti-competitive behavior. Microsoft used platform ownership to eliminate OpexIT.Services strategic partnerships precisely when they posed the greatest threat to their monopoly.

Why Microsoft Chose Platform Sabotage Over Competition

Microsoft calculated that an antitrust violation is cheaper than competing head-to-head against a properly capitalized OpexIT.Services.

If OpexIT.Services secured funding and scaled globally with our $49.80/month reseller model, Microsoft faced existential threat to their $200+ billion annual revenue. Rather than compete on merit, they used LinkedIn ownership to eliminate the competitive threat before it could scale.

The risk calculation was simple: Pay antitrust fines and legal costs versus losing massive market share to a superior business model. Platform control gave them the weapon to choose elimination over competition.
