Microsoft in the USA is going to have an investigation Into their practices in the workforce.

The investigation is not about their email products from what I gather. It is of an antitrust nature.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is launching an investigation into Microsoft’s practices, according to a report by Bloomberg.

The report claims the FTC wants information on everything from the company’s cloud computing and software licensing businesses to its cybersecurity and artificial intelligence products.

People who spoke to Bloomberg anonymously said that FTC antitrust lawyers are supposed to meet with Microsoft competitors next week to learn more information about the Redmond-based business and its practices.

Bloomberg says Microsoft and the FTC declined to comment on the ordeal.

The tech giant is a top government contractor and provides billions of dollars in software and cloud services to US agencies.

@Vesper yes but Microsoft have had a lot of outages and their server's or issues with outlook email being down or Microsoft windows 10 + 11 are terrible. Microsoft windows purposely release windows updates that lag and slow Down people's computers do that they have to buy another one within 2 and a half years. Window xp / windows 7 was the only best computers from Microsoft but they are unreliable now.

my point was that those performance issues have nothing to do with the antitrust investigation
