Sources mentioned that the US Federal Trade Commission has initiated an antitrust investigation into US Microsoft, involving aspects like Microsoft, cloud computing services, and software licensing.

An insider revealed that Federal Trade Commission chair Lena Khan signed this extensive request, sending it to Microsoft.
