As noted above, the circumstances in which the CMA might select a behavioural remedy as the primary source of remedial action are not present in this case. The two markets in which the CMA has provisionally found SLCs are multi-faceted and continue to develop. This is particularly the case in cloud gaming, where the customer offerings and business models of market participants are evolving rapidly. We are of the initial view that any behavioural remedy in this case is likely to present material effectiveness risks. We invite the Parties to provide evidence on how these risks could be appropriately managed to ensure that any behavioural remedy is effective.

CMA doesn't believe that behavioral remedies work, but they're inviting the parties to show otherwise. 

I'd take a guess that this is just standard procedure to not shut the door completely but they have absolutely zero intention of accepting behavioural remedies, Microsoft has two weeks to respond to this, so they have to both consider the possibility of a structural remedy and argue that a behavioural remedy is possible? Isn't that what they've been doing the past year? CMA already has the arguments.

Can't see them accepting anything but structural remedies and Microsoft won't do structural remedies (as much as I'd want them to).
