Breaking
the Giant - The Government Proposal to Divide Microsoft
As expected,
the Justice Department and 19 states asked a federal judge to divide Microsoft
in two, with one of the " baby Bills" focusing on Windows and the other
on software applications such as Word or Excel. Designed to prevent the giant
from abusing its operating system monopoly, the suggestion does not bind Judge
Thomas Penfield Jackson, but earlier this month Jackson ruled the software giant
to have violated antitrust laws by using its Windows monopoly to capture the
market for Web browsers. The proposal thus marks the latest step in the historic
antitrust suit against Microsoft--a case that has sharply divided the technology
industry and even roiled Wall Street.
Government
to judge: Break up Microsoft
The Justice Department and several states ask a federal judge to break Microsoft
into two pieces to prevent it from further abusing its monopoly position in
the software market.

Changes Likely for Consumers After Breakup
The proposed division of Microsoft probably wouldn't mean any drastic changes
for consumers, at least in the near term.
