We've had several discussions about this particular breakup plan and many of us didn't think it was such a hot idea. Now dropping the tying claim, that's worse - but you can make a case for allowing Microsoft to sell whatever it wants with Windows, even if (as myself) you think it is a stupid, asinine, brain-dead mistake to glue and intertwine so many operating system components together. I was disappointed that they had spent so much time concentrating on Internet Explorer anyway rather than the other more egregious monopolistic acts. Not to mention failing to whack Gates and company hard for perjury.

Hopefully futher news comes out shortly about what it is they're looking for.
