Microsoft told to explain digital data
MICROSOFT Corp, which is under an anti-monopoly investigation in China, was asked by the industry regulator to submit a detailed explanation on digital data obtained as part of the probe, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce said yesterday.
The SAIC did not say exactly what issues it was querying but the request appeared to be part of the investigation into the US software titan over its Windows operating system launched in mid-2014.
Microsoft China executives were required to submit more materials about digital data for the investigation.
“We’re serious about complying with China’s laws and committed to addressing SAIC’s questions and concerns,” a Microsoft spokesman said.
When the case was launched, the SAIC said Microsoft had not fully disclosed information about Windows and its Office software suite. The SAIC was also investigating a Microsoft vice president and senior managers.
In raids on company sites in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, the SAIC collected documents, e-mails and other data, it said at the time.
Microsoft’s Windows and Office products have dominated the personal computer markets globally.
Over 90 percent PCs run on the Windows system, and more than 1 billion devices will use the latest operating system Windows 10 globally in the near future, up from 200 million devices now, Microsoft said.
US chip giant Qualcomm Inc was fined US$975 million in February by Chinese regulators to settle a 14-month anti-monopoly investigation.
