BERLIN (Reuters) -Germany's antitrust regulator is reviewing Microsoft's market power in a move that could lead to an investigation of the U.S. tech giant's business practices and potential bans if they are found to damage competition.
The Bundeskartellamt said it would decide whether Microsoft should be designated as a company "of paramount significance for competition across markets".
