There is a pretty good arguement that a technically logical place could not be found, but I'm not at all convinced that a fair place could not be found in terms of legal equity, especially given that the idea of a remedy is at least partially punitive, which means that something that is harmful to Microsoft still might be okay and even something harmful to society as a whole might be okay assuming the harm isn't too great. (This assumes that the idea of splitting the company was an appropriate remedy at all, which I don't happen to believe).

This doesn't follow logically. Consider the case of medicine you need to cure a fatal disease. Too little and you die. Too much and you overdose and die. The right amount and you're cured.
