Brian, Now THERE is some useful info.. And I thank you! Investment wise, there just might be a possibility that the Forbes article has merit. (I subsribe to Forbes, so don't know how I missed that). I haven't been a strong advocate of breaking up MSFT, but if I were a current investor ( I have been a couple of times in the past), I might just want to look at the option.... food for thought1
BTW -- I am NOT anti-Microsoft, as several on the thread have implied. As an ex-IBM-er, I got a kick out of the way Bill took IBM to the cleaners early on. And I have no quarrel with Microsoft's monopoly -- I don't think DOJ does either. But even the most adament defender of MSFT has to admit that they have been...well...just a bit agressive about this competition thing.....and there are limits, if we are to retain our free enterprise system, don't you agree?

Thanks again for those very useful links..
