The European Union's competition chief, Margrethe Vestager, is closely monitoring the recent actions of tech giant Microsoft amid concerns over potential antitrust violations. This scrutiny comes in response to Microsoft's acquisition of Inflection, a data analytics company, and the subsequent poaching of key staff members.
Vestager has indicated that if Microsoft's actions are seen as part of a broader pattern of anti-competitive behavior, she may take action to ensure fair competition in the market. The European Commission, under Vestager's leadership, has a track record of holding tech companies accountable for violations of antitrust laws.
