"After the Windows auction, the intellectual property rights would be transferred to possibly two or three companies. Microsoft would be permitted to market and further develop its own version of Windows..." This does not sound too bad a deal to me. Microsoft get billions from the auction and get these DOJ & AGs off the back. In the meantime, whoever pay the big money get the buggy source code that is too costly to maintain / develop and no end user trust enough to buy. The intellectual property is in people, not in the dead computer code. Better yet, Microsoft can keep on develop their own version of Windows OS that make the auctioned version obsolete right away. If any of you ever took over someone else's computer code, you know what I mean, it is really a pain in the butt.
