First, it is "Is Microsoft planning a new machine" not "are".

Are is correct in all English speaking countries in the world except USA. Remember that you are not the only English speaking nation in the world. A company when used as a proper noun in English(UK) is plural. Therefore "Are Microsoft planning a new machine" is perfectly acceptable.

 yep!

 except in canada, it's also "is".

 actually, i've been living in the states too long to remember if that's the case in canada...
