* The FTC recently requested for an injunction to be issued against Microsoft to prevent the company from closing its attempted purchase of Activision Blizzard prior to their anti-trust trial which is set to start this August. Official reason is due to their belief that MS will try to push ahead with finalizing their purchase of AB despite the current legal issues surrounding it. The FTC is currently asking for this injunction to be issued no later than June 15th and for it to remain in affect until the court makes it official decision regarding the legal status of MS' deal with AB.
