If they can get the conduct remedies (in addition to the breakup) postponed for a couple of years, that is worth a lot. In addition, it would give Microsoft an advantage in the Supreme Court, if the appeal court had a different opinion than Jackson. Seems to me that if they are confident in their arguments they might as well go to the Supreme Court now and not have this hanging over their heads for 2 or 3 more years. I'm not sure a favorable circuit court opinion gives much advantage to MSFT unless an opinion is written that is so powerful that it sways the Supreme Court's thinking. Absent that, the Supreme Court will review all legal questions de novo without any deference to the circuit court's opinion.
