This AM I registered a COMPLAINT with My Attorney General of Michigan, Jennifer Grandholm to drop MY STATE'S participation in the DOJ's anti-trust case against MICROSOFT. I claim potential great harm to me and my company's ability to perform CPA services in Michigan if MICROSOFT is prevented from improving it's software and developing new products. I need to keep my practice competitive too! Respectfully, Abbigail

your cited story picked up by TheStreet.com. do you think a breakup, if carried out, would help or hurt the stock? regards In the latest in the government's antitrust case against Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq), government lawyers appear to have reached an approach that would propose a breakup of the software titan, USA Today reported. Under the plan favored by government lawyers, the software giant would be split into two separate companies, one for its Windows operating system and another for software, the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The alleged break up plan drew a yawn from SI. Didn't even make it to the top 10 list of hot subjects. Note the pullback in ORCL was even stronger. Are they being broken up too? This was just normal market activity after one of the steepest runs MSFT has had in its stock price. A few more poor folks were panicked out of the stock, and they'll look back in a few years and imagine what they would have done with the money they would have made had it not been for that bit of emotion on January 12th that caused them to hit the sell button.
