I havent crunched hard figures on what MSFT will be 
worth. To me MSFT is worth much less if broken up. There is a big difference in 
Oil, Telecom, and Software . (BTW if you want to know anything on Oil 
my mentor would be pleased to give you his lowdown. He was an Oil Man, worked 
for one of the seven (was it) sisters.
 
That MSFT will bite the dust......I have no 
doubt.....it reeks of everything unethical in the book, looking forward 
that is. I think Ive got a handle on whats in store for us by MSFT, and I 
dont like it one bit. 
 
Anyway I will put my money where my mouth is, when 
its time......all said and done Im just a humble monkey...........

  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.

    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?
