Just read how well it works out when monopolies are split up to understand what likely would have happened. Instead of being #1 with a bloated infrastructure that is slowing them down and making them vulnerable, they would be more agile and likely be #1, #2, and #5 (numbers pulled out of air, not based on actual revenues). Sure there might be advantages to doing this, but all we would be getting is a different set of issues. At least businesses trying to compete today know the ground rules, and honestly, Microsoft is the most vulnerable as they ever have been in their history.
