Microsoft Corp chairman Bill Gates said in a televised interview with CNBC-TV that he knows of no effort by the US Federal Trade Commission to force a restructuring of Microsoft, despite its ongoing probe: I certainly haven’t heard any suggestion that they’re even considering something that would change the structure of our company, Gates said; he also warned on the Business Insiders programme that Microsoft Corp will not be as profitable in the long-term as it has in recent years – The kind of profit margin we’ve had in the past will be very unlikely for us to achieve in the future; we’ve said after tax margins probably won’t stay over 20% in the mid to long-term, and they could go quite a bit lower than that in the short-term, the company’s chief executive declared.
