Microsoft will sell through eBay

The Portuguese company Microsoft Ltd plans to put the Microsoft brand on sale through an online auction site eBay. This was stated by the director of the Portuguese company Riccardo Carvalio, reports Reuters. It is expected that the starting price of the lot will be approximately $ 1 million.

Microsoft office in Russia refused to comment on this situation.
