China's market regulator confirmed on Tuesday that investigators have launched surprise anti-monopoly inspections of Microsoft Corporation's four offices in the Chinese mainland.

The State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) said in a statement the US company's two iconic products may encounter compatibility and file verification issues because Microsoft did not disclose enough product information. Microsoft is also facing tied-in sale investigations, the SAIC said.

Microsoft did not immediately respond to the SAIC's announcement.

On Monday, SAIC officials visited Microsoft's offices in nine Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu.
