Microsoft’s Smith Set for Talks With UK Chancellor Over Activision Deal Ban - Bloomberg

Smith is set to hold talks with Hunt as well as officials from the Competition and Markets Authority, the agency that wielded the April 26 veto, according to people familiar with the talks, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Out-of-court talk with UK chancellor as a mediator, the reach of MS is staggering... JK, but my hope of a settlement during the appeal increased a notch

We are talking about king kong size balls here.  The real issue is not that MS will get the deal done, its how they find a way to make it appear as a win for the CMA while doing it..  This way the CMA can go on all the news networks and claim victory all the while MS smiles and get ready to close ABK.
