That's the interesting thing here. Unlike recent regulatory actions by the EU, there doesn't appear to be a solution provided other than to let the UK CMA make business strategy decisions for Microsoft.
I don't think it is necessarily how Microsoft will proceed, but it would be irresponsible for them not to consider such an approach.
I also do think the CMA is overplaying its hand; sooner or later they will make a decision like this and a company will pull out of their market. Alone, they simply don't have the economic heft to regulate global companies domiciled outside their borders.
