A rather lengthy article in the business section of today's (Thursday's) 
LA Times says much the same thing -- that Microsoft may get the chance to 
break itself up on its own terms, and it might not produce any benefit to 
competition. Good piece -- says much of what I've been thinking anyway. 
Somebody ought to grab that article, before it disappears (by tonight, 
probably).
