  • I can’t believe anyone would approve it to begin with…

    The main reason it didn’t face as much resistance is how far behind Sony (and IMO Nintendo) Microsoft is in this console generation. And the merger was still really close to not happening at all despite there being no chance that it turns MS into anything resembling a monopoly.

    And since AB isn’t really a platform in the same way Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo are it’s not as though it’s directly reducing competition in that market.

    And blocking the merger also benefits the market leader in the space.

    And MS is a US company, while Sony isn’t (which matters in the context of the FTC).

    In the last decade the only serious troubleshooting I’ve had to do is on non-Windows OSes. Including an install of Ubuntu that I blew away because it froze in the middle of an upgrade and couldn’t load into the OS anymore.

    So, speaking from personal experience, Windows is what I use when I just want stuff to work. Other OSes are fun when I have time to kill trying to figure out how to do things.
