WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) set a date on Wednesday for its internal judge
to hear its arguments on why Microsoft  MSFT.O  should not be
allowed to buy games maker Activision Blizzard  ATVI.O .
    The case is set to be heard 20 days after an appeals court
rules on whether the deal may go forward. The FTC had fought the
deal in district court but lost and appealed.
