- Well ladies and gentlemen, it seems Billy Gates and his Gestapo at
- Microsoft are going the way AT&T did in the early 1980s- a breakup.
- Yesterday the Federal Trade Commission found Microsoft to be monopolizing
- the computer software industry and to be practicing unfair business
- practices. The FTC wants to know how Microsoft garnered 95% of the overall
- operating system and major software markets before it cotinues further
- actions which will entail one of or more than one thing:
-
- 1) Breaking up of Microsoft into smaller subdivisions
- 2) Enacting "Barriers" around the company as to what its pricing, sales,
- business practices may be.

- I know *I'm* Happy! :-)
