The CMA in the UK is still trying to block it. Appeal is in two weeks. That said, even if they were successful I get the feeling that MS would just do a business carve out in the UK and acquire ActiBlizz anyway
Based on my (admittedly limited) understanding of the situation, you're right. Microsoft have already hinted that if the UK interferes with the deal, theyd stop doing business there rather than pull out of the acquisition.
Wouldn't that mean that the whole of UK ould no longer use Windows OS? That sounds like it would be incredibly damaging to its economy.
I guess another reason for why critical infrastructure shouldn't be based on proprietary stuff..
I believe the UK block only applies to the Xbox Gaming portion of Microsoft, but I dont know for sure.
On the upside, it would lead to vast improvements in national cyber security.
