Microsoft disciplined an undisclosed number of employees who are suspected of buying discounted software and reselling it for a profit, the software giant said on Wednesday.
The company allows employees to buy discounted retail software at its store at its Redmond, Wash., headquarters, but the software maker prohibits resale.
"There have been instances of policy violation, and we've taken appropriate action," Microsoft spokeswoman Stacy Drake said. Drake would not comment on what disciplinary action Microsoft had taken or how many employees were involved.
