FTC opens broad antitrust investigation into Microsoft

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a broad antitrust investigation into Microsoft Corporation. This move comes in response to concerns over potential anti-competitive practices by the tech giant. The investigation will look into a variety of Microsoft’s business practices to determine if they violate antitrust laws. This includes scrutinizing their handling of acquisitions, partnerships, and control over specific software and hardware markets. It’s important to note that an investigation does not necessarily mean that the FTC has found any wrongdoing, but is rather an examination to ensure compliance with antitrust laws. Microsoft has pledged to cooperate fully with the FTC during this investigation.
