"In a ruling submitted today, Judge Corley said the following:
Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision has been described as the largest in tech history. It deserves scrutiny. That scrutiny has paid off: Microsoft has committed in writing, in public, and in court to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for 10 years on parity with Xbox. It made an agreement with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to Switch. And it entered several agreements to for the first time bring Activision’s content to several cloud gaming services. This Court’s responsibility in this case is narrow. It is to decide if, notwithstanding these current circumstances, the merger should be halted—perhaps even terminated—pending resolution of the FTC administrative action. For the reasons explained, the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED. "
Wait until they set Edge as the default browser every time you start one of their games
Edge is my default…
I feel like the “Edge is bad” stereotype is the new “Apple only has a one button mouse.”
People were still making fun of that years after it was no longer the case.
I don’t have anything personally against Edge as a browser. But what irks me to no end are all the way Microsoft tries to shove it down your throat. I will never use Edge for that reason only, even if it were to become the best browser by a mile.
That’s completely fair. I use Windows and I do end user support so it just makes sense to me to live in the environment that my users do. They use chrome and edge so I just keep edge as my default because it’s usable and it lets me just be bare bones and always have the most up to date knowledge on one of the pieces of software that’s there
I mean I used chrome before and they both use the same underlying bits and since I use it by default 1)as end user support I can always have in my back pocket knowing the defaults by heart 2)it doesn’t bug me. The usability is the same so… unless I wanted to switch to Firefox it’s the best option and Firefox is so wildly different from what my user base where I work uses there’s no point I’d rather be in the environment they are in…. If edge was as bad as IE then yeah I’d not use it but it works
Edgelord…
Software so sharp you’ll get cut ON THE EDGE
