71% Informative
Federal Trade Commission is preparing to launch an investigation into Microsoft ’s cloud computing business.
The FTC is examining allegations that Microsoft is abusing its market power in productivity software by imposing punitive licensing terms to prevent customers from moving their data from its cloud service to competitors’ platforms.
Tactics being examined include substantially increasing subscription fees for those that leave, charging steep exit fees, and allegedly making its Office 365 products incompatible with rival clouds.
