Microsoft Loses Delay Appeal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-less-delay dept.

cheesethegreat was the first to submit that Microsoft has lost their appeal to delay their case by requesting a review with the Supreme Court. We mentioned the appeal a few weeks ago. The link doesn't say much more than that the appeals court denied the delay.

    will last longer than the O.J. debacle.

    But in this case, the glove not only fits, but it comes bundled with the bloody knife and bodies.


    Yes... but in order to actually open the bundle and see the contents you have to agree to the EULA which requires you to find in favor of MS for all criminal and civil cases.

    Excellent idea. I say we call them Micros~1, Micros~2, and Micros~3.

    "Some trial watchers have characterized Microsoft's recent legal moves as part of a broader strategy to prolong the court proceedings and delay any antitrust actions, including a court-ordered block of the release of Windows XP, until after the product already is in the marketplace."

    Kinda makes it sound like XP is some sort of evil master plan instead of some grand improvement on Windows.

    I can picture it now (swirly effect)

    Steve: Master Bill, the Justice dept. is coming to attack us for our evil marketing practices and thwart our release of XP.

    Bill: Call my Flying Lawyer Monkeys. (speaks to head lawyer monkey)This Justice department *must* be stopped. Take your Flying Lawyer Monkeys and hold them off until Oct 25 (Dec 21:). If we can't get an appeal, then make sure we can get a delay. Because after Oct 25, XP will be released and our power solidified. Then the world will be powerless against us.

    Fly, my little Flying Lawyer Monkeys, fly!
