Washington, Nov. 7 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Justice Department is considering a breakup of Microsoft Corp. as part of a range of possible remedies in the antitrust case against the world's largest software company, Assistant Attorney General Joel I. Klein said. ``That is in the range, but we're looking at a lot of remedies,' Klein said on ABC's ``This Week.' Klein's comments came two days after U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said Microsoft ``stifled innovation' by abusing its monopoly over personal computer operating systems. Jackson stopped short of saying Microsoft violated U.S. antitrust laws, although his factual findings suggest he likely will make that conclusion early next year. The judge then will decide what remedies to impose on Microsoft. Antitrust lawyers have speculated that the Justice Department also might ask Jackson to force Microsoft to license its Windows operating system or bar business practices such as exclusive agreements with computer makers and Internet service providers. Microsoft has said it remains confident in its case. ``This is one step in a process that we need to play out,' Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Robert Herbold said on ``Fox News Sunday.' ¸1999 Bloomberg L.P. regards
