Do you remember the story about Microsoft being targeted by the Chinese authorities? In the end, it seems it was all nothing but a media storm in a glass.

Well, it seems they were right not to know a thing, after all. Today, the Chinese authorities have confirmed that Microsoft is not targeted for any wicked behavior...
According to a statement briefly posted on the official SIPO website, quickly quoted by various media sources, the Chinese organization said it has never got into any market-monopoly investigation so far, and since its task is "to investigate and research domestic piracy issues," it won't go into any monopoly-related investigation in the future, either.
Other than the above, it seems Microsoft doesn't have blue skies all over, but China is a market with huge potential, and it's good for them to stay assured that autorities are not hunting them for now. After all, it would be really strange for this to happen, considering the piracy rate in China...
