JMHO, relying on the appeals court is the only available choice.

re: coming to grips:

I'm trying to remember those "stages of grief".

First comes Denial. That's where all MSFT management still is. Next, I think, comes Bargaining. Acceptance is down the road. Somewhere in the middle is Anger.

It's hard to believe they are still saying "We did nothing wrong", and "We won't be broken up". This is Magical Thinking (it didn't happen because I didn't want it to happen). My 4-year old does all the time. I catch him stealing his brother's toys, and give him a time-out. Then I listen to him muttering to himself, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I didn't." What he means is, "I didn't want to get caught doing it".

<<Relying on an appeal or change in political position seems very risky to me.>>

Especially since MSFT's insurance carrier is suing them for trying to make them pay for MSFT's legal bills.

MSFT does not need more legal battles. Lawyers will rip this company apart like hyenas on the carcass of a dead bull.
