re "both the shareholders and consumers will benefit by simply creating 3 or more equal companies, each with the MSFT operating systems. They will be forced to compete." Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Federal Government can force a company to create three duplicate products, each supported by its own corporate infrastructure, each serving the same market. -- Even the Federal Govt wasn't stupid enough to attempt to force AT&T to have three local telephone companies in each geographic region, each with its own set of telephone lines running down the street. And Standard Oil was broken up into companies serving different geographic regions also. That is because some standards do provide benefits to consumers. Even an idiot can see that.
