Article Abstract:
Microsoft Corp. won a stay verdict at a federal appeals court in order to postpone Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's decision to split the company in two. The software company also requested that the case should not bypass the appeals courts and jump to the Supreme Court as it is not appropriate in a complicated lawsuit, such as this one.
