<Microsoft will be divested in the name of freedom.>

A bit of the old hyperbole aren't we?

<The post-AT&T breakup years have brought tremendous competition and freedom to the marketplace>

The post breakup years of AT&T did nothing but quadruple the cost of telephones, delay the implementation of digital transmission for at least 10 years, and created Seven government protected fiefdoms that have spent their government protected sinecure inventing new area codes for the same geographical area because the government imposed regulations allow them to raise the rates from one area code to another.

<Microsoft's abuses are the most aggregious in American history>

I think you mean "egregious" don't you?

<. Its divesture is merited >

divestiture???

You said that you used to be with the Anti-Trust Division, didn't you?

And the Telephone Deregulation Act is proving itself to be every bit as effective as the 1985 Gramm Rudman Hollings Act (aka, the balanced budget amendment)
