Comment Appropriate remedies (Score 1) 184

IMHO, the best remedy is probably to break up Microsoft. DOJ should force Microsoft to setup 3 (or more) separate companies with complete ownership of the MS-Windows operating system as it exists today (the engineers who know the operating system should also be distributed amongst these new companies). These companies will then start out on equal footing, be enjoined from merging back together, and would then be free to compete in the open market as they see fit. As an example, one company might choose to align itself with Linux/*BSD/UNIX and provide solid MS-Windows emulation at the kernel level. Another might port the MS-Windows OS to a wider variety of hardware. Since all but one of these companies would no longer be owned by MS and yet have a copy of MS's crown jewels, MS would no longer have an OS monopoly.
