<<How could a microsoft breakup be good for the economy ? Who is going to improve on the Windows platform ?>> Better products from other companies with truly new innovations will come out of this. Instead of dragging on all the bloated legacy code of the Windows platform, this opens the way for operating systems that are more efficient, that do not carry all the old technology baggage that Windows has. Take the BeOS for example. Intel has been backing the development of that pretty agressively, but knows not to step on MSFT's toes, lest they get that monoploy wrath. Be is small, more compact and more efficient than Windows. It's only MSFT's monopoly that prevents the world from going to the better mousetrap. -Bill_H
