Didn't the UK reject it though? What happened there?

They announced that they're negotiating a deal with Microsoft. They'll get some new small concession for PR purposes, but it's clear this deal is 100% going to happen in the next week.

UK? Don’t think anyone really gives a shit about them anymore. If the EU complains Microsoft will have to actually address it. Still boggles the mind to think a bunch of racist pensioners blew whatever was remaining of the UK’s relevance up. Not that the EU is “good,” but at least it meant they had a voice. I guess they’re quickly learning they are just an isolated rock north of Europe on their own. At least they “owned the libs”…
