The FTC chaiar launches an eleventh-hour antitrust probe into Microsoft.

Microsoft is confronting a federal investigation that could reshape the technology industry's competitive landscape, with regulators examining the company's potentially anticompetitive practices in cloud computing and artificial intelligence markets.

Lina Khan departs in January 2025, which begs the question as to whether or not anything will come of this latest FTC vs. Microsoft scuffle.
