Corporations are not created by governments they're created by individuals. The Sherman Anti trust act was created by politicians to disaassemble monopolies that were allowed to exist by government regulation. Check your local history book. Some people have mistakenly taken the stance that Microsoft should be deregulated. Microsoft has never been regulated ans therefore can not be deregulated.
What gives any of you screaming for the break up of Microsoft or the government the right to decide wether Microsoft should be broken up or not. You don't own MIcrosoft and niether does the U.S government. If either "The People" or the Government owned Microsoft thenwe would be living in a marxist economy. If you don't like Microsoft then don't buy there products, I don't. The market will decide who rises and who falls. How would you like it if the government told you that you were too successful and had acquired too much stuff so they were going to give away two of your computers and one of the bedrooms in your house. If Microsoft is too big then they will suffer the fate of Ozymandias.
