So as of 11:59 PM PST today, Microsoft can officially close in America.
The FTC's Appeal against Judge Corley's verdict still remains but...
A. Extremely unlikely they'll win that.
B. Irrelevant as to whether Microsoft can close or not, Microsoft CAN close in America now after today.
The only hurdle that remains is the CMA...If the CMA has given Microsoft permission to close and lifted the worldwide ban then this deal could be closed by Monday in everywhere aside from the UK but either way will be closed whenever Microsoft is done talking with the CMA (which CMA says will be August 29th at the latest), or Microsoft can close over the CMA and face the consequences.
