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