💨 Abstract

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is progressing with an antitrust investigation into Microsoft Corp, initially launched in the closing days of the Biden Administration. The probe is focused on allegations that Microsoft may be misusing its dominance in productivity software by imposing restrictive licensing terms to discourage customers from transferring their data from its Azure cloud service to competitive platforms. Both Microsoft and the FTC have yet to comment on the investigation.
