One obvious problem I have seen is the procurement laws and procedures. Especially in government and public companies. For example, you need to go through a tender process to procure basic stuff like licenses for software.
So a separate company (not Microsoft) submits a tender to "supply" another company for licenses to use Microsoft products.
This opens up a clear avenue for corruption. And it is heavily exploited.
These companies basically submit tenders for the these licenses at exorbitantly inflated prices while doing absolutely nothing.
There is nothing preventing these public companies and government agencies for purchasing directly from Microsoft except for the procurement rules and procedures.
So we end up in a situation where folks that are awarded these tenders end up pocketing large amounts for "supplying Microsoft software".
Local Microsoft employees are obviously colluding with them.
Reviewing these procurement rules and laws may have some impact in reducing these obvious form of corruption.
