I thought that the best article I've read so far was in Saturday's San
Jose Merc.  Basically, it pointed out that after you split MS into an OS
company and a Business Productivity company, you now have two
monopolies.  This split does nothing to promote competition, nothing to
boost the other players in the marketplace.  It just separates the
company along a somewhat clean line, allowing each to dominate in its
own area.

Extremely dumb.
