The Federal Trade Commission is investigating Microsoft for potential antitrust violations, specifically regarding their software licensing and cloud services, as well as practices in AI.
NetChoice, representing companies like Amazon and Google, criticized Microsoft's alleged punitive licensing practices which may hinder customers from transferring data to competing cloud platforms.
The investigation, approved by FTC Chair Lina Khan, comes amidst uncertainty regarding the future direction of the FTC with the anticipated change in leadership next year.
Microsoft's licensing decisions are under scrutiny as its dominant position in software, particularly productivity tools, raises concerns over its competitive practices.
