Well, what Microsoft is saying here is that FTC might not know how long the data needs to kept for things to work. You really think they understand computers and IT better than Microsoft? After all, Microsoft has been in the business since the 80's.
What FTC really should be doing is looking what Google and Facebook do and how much those companies violate users privacy, both intentionally and unintentionally. Microsoft produces mainly computer software and makes money with that. Both Google and Facebook by design make money by exploiting users privacy and selling their data to advertisers. If FTC wants to do something, they should look into that and let the good companies like Microsoft be alone.
