From the point of view of the market, breaking up Microsoft would be a
disaster.

Imagine lots of small companies, all with their own views, eventually the
system would collapse, they would never agree on common APIs, standards,
etc.

This would leave ~90% of the world's computers without a company to
support/develop the applications they use. It would be equivalent to
Commodore going bust to us, but scaled up immensely.

Sadly, for the sake of the market, Microsoft HAS to stay in one piece. That
doesn't mean they can't be restricted though.
