I believe you are correct. I think it is more likely that the DOJ will be told that they are seeking remedies which will not be sustained upon appeal. MSFT doesn't lose on appeal. This was a big win for MSFT (as shown in after-market trading). BIG WIN.

At the end of September an Oracle employee made a ghastly
error by faxing an internal document to the Wall Street
Journal along with a release about the company's first-quarter
earnings. The fax was a list of Oracle's 20 largest customers
for the period ending Aug. 31 and it showed the revenue
received from each customer along with discounts. According
to the Wall Street Journal, the discounts ranged between 42
percent and a whopping 94 percent, with nine companies
getting discounts of 70 percent or more and four getting a
discount of more than 80 percent.
