MS should be cloned, not broken up (Score 1)

Since the beginning of the MS-Gov't dispute, I have argued that the most effective remedy would be to clone MS. MS1 and MS2 would each take equal rights in the MS technology, shareholders of MS would be split randomly into two equal groups, each getting either MS1 or MS2 stock, assets and employees would be evenly divided, etc. Granted this would be a logistical nightmare, but so would any other "solution". MS1 and MS2 would have a blanket proibition about any form of cooperation/agreement/merger/etc for at least 10 years.
