Microsoft Files "Emergency Motion" To Ship Word

Posted by kdawson on from the my-word dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "Several days after a judge ordered Microsoft to halt sales of Word and handed down $290M in fines, the software giant has moved to stop the ban. On Friday Microsoft filed an emergency motion to stop the judgment and waive the bond requirement, according to court filings. The actual document was filed under seal, so the full contents of the request have not yet been made public."

      Getting their way is something Microsoft excels at. It is easy when you have access to their resources and the outlook to dominate any market they enter.

      Powerpoint.

    The current location of your daughter is in the attached file. Unfortunately for you, this file can only be read by the latest software version of Word we're commercially releasing next week.
