Hi Hal, >> If the breaks can not be put on Microsoft's "folding-in" assault on the computer related economy, then regulators will be forced to resort to actually dividing up Microsoft into competing entities along functional lines in the public interest. This could be a significant limiting factor in how high Microsoft will fly.<< It's been discussed that in two similar cases in the past (Standard Oil and AT&T), that the breakups actually resulted in more value for the shareholders. Some are expecting the same thing when (if) MSFT is broken up. FWIW Andy
