Justice may seek to break up Microsoft

The federal government may seek to break up Microsoft into separate
companies if it wins its antitrust case against the software giant. In a
routine pretrial statement, the government says that depending on the
court's findings, "plaintiffs will seek such additional permanent relief as is
necessary to restore competitive conditions and to prevent Microsoft
from committing similar violations in the future." The court papers don't
specify the nature of the relief. But people familiar with the case say it
would likely mean Microsoft's divestiture or some other measure that
would alter the company's structure. The Justice Department and 20
states have sued Microsoft for alleged anti-competitive practices.
