Break up values--maybe I'm naive, but I don't think so. Licensing windows software, yes. That would be interesting. I would think that Microsoft has no right to sub-license all the licensed third-party code in Windows (as pointed out here by others previously) and any attempt by the government to force Microsoft to do so would likely be fought in court by the owners of that code. Of course, I guess Microsoft could just remove all the third-party code in Windows before delivering the source...
