Even convicted criminals have rights, such as the right of appeal. Microsoft is a criminal organization but they also have the right to appeal, which they have. If they lose the appeal then something _will_ be done about it - that is the law. Sorry that the justice system doesen't work as quickly to your satisfaction. Maybe you could complain to your Republican representative - it's that party that has delayed so many judicial appointments and caused the slowness in the court system. Did you vote in the last election?
