That's why a massive fine would be better than a breakup. We could all move on, with the DOJ and states a lot richer and MSFT a lot poorer.

Ha ha. Supposedly MSFT had this so powerful position that anyone who stood in their way was crushed and so they had to be taken down, but now you say they're no threat to anyone so a fine is all that's needed. Hell, a fine was all that was needed, but those types of fines are called "political contributions" or more accurately "tribute".
