Microsoft Now Faces FTC Probe
27 Comments
In what seems like a never ending battle in the courtroom for Microsoft, the Federal Trade Commission is now investigating its advertising practices. The FTC is reportedly looking into whether or not the ads run for handheld computing devices were deceptive in nature. These ads were run last April when the product was launched. The problem lies in the fact that Microsoft did not inform users in the advertisement that you had to buy a separate modem for certain wireless functions, according to the AP report. The FTC apparently has issues with the font size and graphics used in the print ads.
