Remedy is touchy Microsoft question; most mumble when asked what Justice should do if it wins
Article Abstract:
The remedies the Department of Justice and the 19 state attorneys general may seek should they prevail on claims that the Microsoft Corp engaged in illegal abuse of its monopoly power are one of the most basis points in the case, but one which the parties are not willing to comment on. A Microsoft divestiture was unthinkable when the trial began and has never occurred in the computer industry.
