"..a breakup, probably along OS/applications/services dividing lines.." Opening the code would only result in a nightmare for users who are stuck with code that less-equipt companies than Microsoft have tweaked. Ditto for the idea of splitting Microsoft into multiple OS groups. Splitting MS into OS/apps/services would not seem to be harmful to MS (or shareholders), but what would that accomplish? MS-Word would still be able to show HTML pages. The internet is interwoven throughout software products in nearly every catagory. I personally could care less whether or not MS gave Internet Explorer 5.0 with their OS, since I use Netscape Navigator. Regardless of what one's personal feelings on MSFT or the trial may be, MSFT today kissed its 200-day sma: bigcharts.com In the last couple of years, MSFT has never stayed at the 200-day sma very long, and buying at the 200 sma has been a good investment. Actual results may vary, etc. :-)
