For some reason I had it in my head that tomorrow was the 18th. Hm. Anyway, are we expecting much from the tribunal meeting? I had assumed that was just a formality of pausing the appeals process and that any negotiation with the CMA was happening outside of it. I guess unless they have something more definitive than a pause to tell them about?

If thatā€™s true I hope it is flat. Iā€™ll throw my current one out and replace it. I hate the design of it so much.

Good stuff. I wonder what the price will be and how much smaller it will be.

Damn. I havenā€™t touched in a year and theyā€™re making a slim. I really need to start buying and use it asap.

Donā€™t be afraid for Xbox Live server crashes. Blame this when it happens.

There is a reason why the merger agreement does not require countries like Australia to approve it.

Translation: We know that Microsoft could yeet us out of existence, so we are gonna allow others to make the decision for us.

I donā€™t think this is accurate. The meeting is about the partiesā€™ recent application to pause the proceedings, not to give permission to the merger.

We could see an agreement with the CMA that could speed up the merger, but I donā€™t think thatā€™s the job of the CMC and CAT here.

? Aus and other commonwealth countries (Canada) were wailing on the CMA, not US

I know. My apologies. Itā€™s a generalized frustration rooted in the workings of Australia as a whole.
