MSFT has no choice but to challenge the finding-
The rehearing petition is a no brainer. MSFT has several issues to bring up and they probably brought up one with their best arguments. I read the petition and it is pretty sound - even the Supreme Court can understand this level of complexity. So if MSFT does not get a favorable rehearing on this issue, it will go to the Supreme Court. At any rate, throwing dust in the air keeps any motion from blocking XP's release date at bay because there will be no hard legal basis to get an injunction and it would be hard to prove that severe and unrecoverable harm would be done. I am not a lawyer, this strategy is basic business 601 - its graduate level defense technique.
