Over time, Microsoft will destroy itslef. It is the nature of the corporation to grow to a point where it is no longer nimble enough to compete with smaller quicker acting companies. Breakign Microsoft up, would create dozens of small nimble companeis all with the Microsoft culture. Nobody would be able to compete.
I don't know if anyone watches click online? it's a show that runs on bbc world. I usually only see it by coincidence eg. it's on when I switch channel to bbc. Anyway I happend to be watching it this week and they were conducting an interview with an expert on monopolies. And they asked him about the microsoft monopoly, something like will the government break up the monopoly? if not can we ever expect microsoft to lose it's monopoly position? His aswer was that we should not trust any government to break up the monopoly. However he said that this kind of monopoly only lasts a couple of decades. And since microsoft already have had 10 years of monopoly we should see it start to crumble about 10 years from now.
