Bobby, my guess is that the government just sees Microsoft as too powerful, Gates to rich. Just like Standard Oil and US Steel in the past. There is some truth that letting Microsoft have its way the market is bad for technology advancement. As soon as anything in computing is a "standard", it's obsolete. Microsoft has been brutal limiting real competitive innovation and should get kicked off its pedestal. However, the market will view this as intrusion in the free market and sell off. Remember, for the last 10 years the market has been Microsoft and Intel. Everything else improved in value through their technology. Intel isn't the problem of a Microsoft because Groves has always been more market friendly. Microsoft started by Gates ripping off DEC's basic interpreter. A pattern here? That pie in the face was well deserved! Did you see the congressional hearings where Gates in essences told congress "it is because I am"? The government has a big pie for Billy.
