Scumbria,
RE:"Where does this Microsoft obsession come from? Splitting up Microsoft will be a great enhancement to the computer industry."

Are you aware that litigation costs our GNP over 10% a year?
My fear is not that Microsoft is broken up, it's the presidence and money grab that we should be fearful of. One great thing about the technology revolution is that it was relatively free of government intrusion. Now we have a shot over the bow.

As far as the general market/inflation, unfortunately inflation often is the result of rapid growth. It's a wonder we got this far.
Options aside, anyone in AMD should consider themselves real smart.
