1st - MSFT on DJIA as a ploy to stop stock from falling - timing of this was suspicious - great power manipulated this - you hurt MSFT - you hurt the country - the economy - the average joe investor - this alone will keep any real damage from happening stockwise - that or we tank our economy - no one wants that do they?

2cnd - DOJ had to prove microsoft used monopoly power to hurt PEOPLE - I think they are going to have a hard time doing that

3rd - States and companies can use this ruling to SUE for large chunks of money - which may be what all this game is about - not about you the little guy - you will see none of it - this is just an easy way to transfer some big cash tax free in the halls of power - mayhaps at levels you cannot comprehend - this is what was wanted - a shift of money and power in a way people thought was done to benefit them - but in the end will hurt them - lets the government get into the regulation business - billy boy already controls the govt - remember standard oil - the monopolist got richer AFTER the breakup

4th - MSFT being one of the largest forces helping the US trade deficit - MSFT cannot lose if America remains a world superpower - wether broken up - sued - they will be realligned and the money distributed and company structured in a way to dominate more than they do now - absolute power corrupts absolutely and the had all the power years ago - this is all just entertainment for the elite
