Once Hock is finished with making concessions to the regulators to get this deal done, I predict that he'll move swiftly to flatten the many management layers. There are numerous Directors and VPs who are about to get their comfortable status-quo world turned upside down.
FTC appeals MSFT/ATVI. I hope VMW has no further delays and uncertainty.
Khan is our only hope
@gvb+1nzsgLUM just as soon as Congress starts its summer recess at the end of the month. Lina Khan got her back broken yesterday, is on the hill tomorrow and won't want to be called back too fast.

Yay

oadcom holds a very strong position in the market for the supply of certain hardware components. VMware is a key server virtualisation software provider. By acquiring VMware, Broadcom could restrict or degrade interoperability between VMware’s leading server virtualization software and some competing hardware components. But the commitments offered by Broadcom will enable its only rival Marvell, to continue competing on equal footing and ensure a similar protection for any future entrants.
