I think that you are missing something. About 100
years ago the Feds broke up Standard Oil, none of the stockholders of Standard
Oil lost any money over it. More recently IBM and AT&T have been
broken up by the Feds. While these companies, excepting Exxon, do not have
the power and influence that they had before, the shareholders didn't lose out
because of a breakup.
If MSFT is broken up, every shareholder will
receive shares of stock in the new entities.

Subject: Off Topic : Microsoft : Grave is
ready.
I have been an huge admirer of
Microsoft.
From what I see now this time round Microsoft has
surely dug its grave and is just building the coffin for itself. Its only a
matter of time.Microsoft will be broken up. No amount of political lobbying is
going to help Microsoft this time round, i.e. if the politicians want to have
the people on their side. Eventually the free market and peoples power will
prevail.
Microsoft will not be able to hide behind
the bushes.
I for one will not be upgrading or buying any
more office products for my personal use. No XPs for me. Switching to Linux
(buggy but it sure would make me happy to support it).
Unless microsoft take a 180 degree turn right now
ala Intel, the company as you know it today will be history.
When the Euphoria sets into the pricing of MSFT I
will be there on the top and will short it all the way.
Anyone here betting that I will have to chew and
munch my word?
Regards
Rajehs
