US Launches Major Investigation Against Microsoft.

The Federal Trade Commission of the United States has launched an antitrust investigation against Microsoft. According to Bloomberg, the main reason for this investigation is suspicions that the corporation is using its office suite and security software to lock users into its cloud services.

According to Bloomberg, the Federal Trade Commission is upset that Microsoft is a supplier for government organizations, including the Pentagon, and is also outraged by the company's failures in the field of cybersecurity.

It is noted that Microsoft has been under the scrutiny of the Federal Trade Commission for a year and that this commission has demanded the company provide all necessary information. Next week, antitrust law experts will meet with Microsoft's competitors to gather additional information about the corporation's operations at its Redmond, Washington office.

Quantum Supercomputer

Additionally, it was previously announced that Microsoft is beginning a partnership with Atom Computing to create the world's most powerful quantum supercomputer. This new system will be used in the Azure Quantum computing platform and will be available for commercial use. The quantum computer will integrate Atom Computing's atomic-based quantum computing system into the Microsoft Azure Quantum cubit (quantum bit) virtualization environment.
