Mostly it demonstrates that both the company and its shareholders are in denial. Pretty lame response there Sir Charles. Nobody is forced to buy Microsoft products. The consumer and businesses buy Microsoft products because they are the highest of quality at the most competitive of prices. The talking heads (mostly lawyers) on TV news were talking about all different ways MSFT might be broken up. They were talking about fostering new competition and how companies could then offer new and competing operating systems. What a joke! They act as though they are smarter than the market. Have they never heard of OS/2, DOS, Atari, Franklin, OSborne, CP/M, TI, Unix, Mac O/S etc. There were plenty of operating systems for the desktop. The market selected Windows and the Mac to dominate the desktop. One of the talking heads said the breakup of MSFT would help the "Netscape Operating System". He probably meant Netscape Browser, but he was so lost I could not even assume what he meant. The more talking heads talked the more they revealed how little they understand the issues. I can't believe we are going to let the DOJ and a bunch of DOJ lawyers restructure the computer industry.
