I agree. I think the Baby Bill solution is the best. It worked well with AT&T, no reason why it couldn't work again here. MSFT is already broken up internally into different business groups....shouldn't be a stretch to maintain shareholder value and improve competitive juices. One interesting thing that is worth noting: Had AAPL been the marketing genius - they would have been a far more powerful monopoly since they make the OS AND the box. Fate intervened, and AAPL became a showcase for MSFT's overwhelming power. Interesting that AAPL has managed to make its OS work with Windoze, but not vice versa......AAPL did it BEFORE MSFT started looking and acting like a monopoly, too. Why didn't MSFT feel compelled to try to emulate Apple OS? They planned to steamroll AAPL.
