The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of the United States has expressed concern over Microsoft's bundled sales strategy, which pairs Office software with cybersecurity and cloud computing services, and has consequently initiated a civil investigation. Competitors of Microsoft have voiced complaints, alleging that this approach has intensified competitive pressures. Microsoft has acknowledged that the FTC has requested an extensive array of detailed documents from the company. According to reports, Microsoft has leveraged cybersecurity incidents to increase sales of software licenses to the US government and hike prices post-trial periods. Experts caution that these actions by Microsoft could potentially breach contract and competition laws, thereby exposing the company to antitrust risks.
