Just my two cents on the Microsoft Breakup. . . I can't help but think that John Dvorak had the right idea when he said that the way to break up M$ is to split them down the middle. Just like in sandlot baseball, Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates will be team captains, then choose employees from each division right down the middle. They'll each have their own company: M$ Red will be Gates', and M$ Blue will be Ballmer's. Now, LET THESE TWO COMPANIES COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER. You wanna see some real competition? You wanna see some real innovation? You wanna see some less buggy products coming out of Redmond (or Bluemond)?? Split 'em in two and let them have at it!!
