I think you are right. It is something MSFT will offer but did not want to do it in public. A slip of the tongue is what occured. They were probably planning to put it on the table. I bet it would also be a way out for the states/DOJ who probably have a hard time agreeing to what they really want VERSUS what they are telling MSFT at the negotiation table. I don't think most would want a break up. Instead it is just a bargaining position they decided to begin with. I agree the shorts are going to be in big trouble.
