Harry, AT&T recommended its break up at some stage of their trial. Surely, MSFT does not have as much control. Personally, I think even Judge Jackson will not go so far. He would just stop at browser and maybe wants to ensure that IBM does not have to pay more for the operating system than Dell or Compaq do. That is, price for the O/S should not be linked to sales of Office97----to which MSFT will agree anyways. Don't forget Apple, Linux, AOL, Oracle and SunW-----they all are competing with MSFT. In some ways, it is still a competition among operating systems (or the lack of a need for an O/S). I have to repeat---I have read the Bloomberg story long time ago and it should not affect the price of the stock in the near future.
