The appeals process may not be all that lengthy. I don't understand the
details (maybe someone more knowledgeable can comment?), but I've heard that
there exists a mechanism for an expedited appeal process that goes directly
to the Supreme Court. Yesterday I looked for anything about that in the
court documents I found on CNN but didn't see anything. However this
morning the television newscast mentioned that Microsoft and DoJ differed on
how the appeal should be handled, with DoJ favoring an appeal directly to
the Supreme Court, so I'd infer that it's a possibility. Let's hope so, M$
isn't likely to change their behavior while it drags out - as the Judge
noted in his ruling yesterday!
BTW, there were some pretty scathing comments in the court documents, a
really fun read - talk about Microsoft bashing! Enjoy!!!!
