Last time I checked, no, actually, it wasn't. Microsoft seems to agree that the order itself is not eligible for appeal, though they haven't said so out loud. They're forcing the judge to find them in contempt, because the contempt finding is appealable.

Whether or not the order itself can be appealed is a hot button subject, but the law itself has been in effect for a number of years, and is not particularly controversial (legally speaking - politically, it is very controversial, but that's not a legal issue).
