You might believe his passion to not be broken up, BUT what you and Steve dont realize is that - he, Billy, or anyone else from MSFT has little say as to MSFT being broken up. It will be decided by others. What really is sad and a JOKE is that you all are in soo much denial. MSFT's propaganda machine will be put into high gear. They will tell all that cares to listen how the world will fall, how all the consumer will pay the big price, how the industry really needs them to be one. This is the same thing that Bell and Standard Oil and all the others that were broken up forcasted - and of course we all know it was all lies. The consumer knows better. The final thing to realize is that bogus public opinion polls mean absolutely nothing. The law was broken and the its time to remedy the situation. MSFT's past proves that they cannot be trusted to abide by any less-strict remedies. Sorry David, all your whining and that of Doomsday predictions by MSFT will do nothing to the progress of the Breakup of MSFT. Toy

The Bigger They Are.... >>I'm on the MSFT conference call now. Bill, Steve and their legal counsel are all very firm that this remedy is way beyond the scope of the case and completely illogical. They clearly state that it would be very damaging to the consumer. Steve again, pounded the table, stating 'Microsoft WILL NOT BE BROKEN UP'.>> Keep pounding Steve. Illogical is exactly how the whole Old World appears in the face of the massive Tsunami hitting everything at the same time: light, energy, openness and transparency. Get used to it Steve. Get used to it Bill. It's the Internet, stupid. You can run, but you can't hide. Peace. GO!!
