No it doesn't:

> Gordon Frazer, Microsoft UK's managing director, made news headlines some weeks ago when he admitted that Microsoft can be compelled to share data with the US government regardless of where it is hosted in the world.

Read between the lines. Don't be naive.

I'm not being naive, I'm being factually accurate. I would 100% agree with the statement "Microsoft has probably done the same", for example, but this article does not provide supporting evidence that they have.

This is a news article. It sounds like you are assuming news=facts. Microsoft employs FUD in the media. In this case, they are making specific use of the U in FUD. They are neither confirming or denying that they have ever shared such information, thus one can safely assume they have. If they hadn't, they would come out and state that clearly.
