Microsoft filed a brief with the Supreme Court asking it to reverse the findings of the appeal:

They did it yesterday.

Does anyone else find the timing of this action, while the DOJ and the media have overriding concerns, to be a bit ghoulish?

Did Microsoft have some sort of time limit on this type of filing?

There are often strict limits on when a legal action can be made and MS might have been pushing those limits.

Of course, IF there weren't any time limits, I would be very, verysuspicious of Microsoft's timing. I might even accuse them of using a tragedy to improve their legal position.

I'm hoping that there was a time limit involved though.

Again, a slick sensical business move. A sick selfish piece of shit human move.

In light of the circumstances, even if they did have a time limit, no court in this country would do anything but extend it right now, and we'd all feel like they hadat least a little chunk of living heart somewhere for real. I hope this returns on them tenfold in bad PR, but I doubt it will.
