yes that's mechanism where you see microsoft get what they want. they do a platitude that doesn't affect them, that they generally won't even bother to enforce. because the regulatory body can't just say "they made us do this by talking to someone higher up that said we had to do this"

the CMA never goes back on decisions like this, their decision is final and you can only fight it by going to the courts and the courts will only rule on if it was legal for the CMA to make the decision, not on the validity of the decision.

yet microsoft gets an unheard-of do-over.
