Foss claimed it was already submitted a week or so ago.
I wonder if this part of the process will have every detail posted online like everything before the final report was. I could imagine a huge circlejerk being had online in certain circles over how "great" Microsoft's appeal arguments are if they ever get posted.

Read somewhere MS appealed or still trying? So, what is it?


They filed an appeal. It will be a while before we know what the CAT decides though.
When I say trying, I mean that the CAT hasn't made a decision on whether they agree with MS or not and won't for many months.

1 of 2 things can happen. Either the CAT can reject the appeal and the CMA's decision stands or they can grant an appeal and send the case back to the cma, where they can either make a new decision or make the same decision again.

Either way, we won't know what happens until next year at the earliest.

If Sony actually knocked it out of the park with their showcase, would it have negatively affected their standing with the regulatory boards? I wouldn’t be surprised those in the courts know Sony’s plans anyway for legal reasons. Just a guess.

No. Nothing they do will affect it. They're no longer an issue for the regulators. It's all the cloud market now.

No, the cloud market is the only remaining battlefield.

Now we've got Jez and Florian spreading conspiracy theories about the CMA director being a biased Sony and Google lawyer without a peep about the former MS lawyer that was hired to the EC.
