"this is your punishment for being bad") they've still been convicted. If I was convicted of murder, I don't think they'd let me out of jail while they lawyers were discussing "remedies" and my lawyer(s) was appealing the case. Not with just a "we'll be watching you, so don't kill anyone else while we discuss what to do to you". Jay O'Connor "Going places unmapped to do things unplanned to people unsuspecting"

MS's officers weren't in danger of going to jail, large fines, etc. In civil cases, different rules apply.

The "sentence" was thrown out for now; without knowing what the remedy is, you can't do anything to Microsoft. With criminals, you can lock them up and (if needed) have them serve their time until the length of the sentence is determined. There's no doubt about the penalty, the only question is how long.
