Amazing... Late Tuesday, MICROSOFT CORP asked the D.C. Court of Appeals to quickly overturn a lower court's order that it license Windows 95 in a version the software giant argued "does not currently exist and will not work." The company asked the Appeals Court to set an expedited schedule for arguments, and for a quick decision whether to overturn a preliminary injunction issued last week by U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson. Microsoft said: "The District Court has forced Microsoft to license an operating system that is plainly deficient and that Microsoft should not be required to have associated with its name."
