Just about any procedural matter decided at a fact trial can give rise to an appeal and since Microsoft asked for extra time and didn't get it, they might have something here. (Even though both sides were given the same amount of time to prepare.) But would that be something Microsoft would want to do? Would it be in their interest to start all over with a new fact trial on the same issues? Given the effects of the current trial, I think they might want to think twice about starting the process anew. I thought the goverment had much more time as they were gathering evidence. I have read this many times - MSFT may not have been given enough time to prepare. Is it not obvious? The other point about limiting witnesses could also be challenged depending upon whether MSFT had objected to this. Even if they had objected, is it grounds for appeal? I think that MSFT would want to start over!! There is nothing to lose. There should be some lawyers or law students who can give answers to such questions.
