THAT THE WORLD'S LARGEST SOFTWARE MAKER IS A MONOPOLY.
BUT ANTITRUST EXPERTS SAY THAT SCENARIO IS UNLIKELY
Harvey Saferstein, antitrust lawyer, Fried, Frank, Harris, & Jacobson: Microsoft is probably looking very carefully at the settlement possibilties and I think it's a good likelihood because it gets them out
of so many problems, including the potential of a break-up... the more difficult part which is the possibility of many, troubled, private civil
lawsuits which could be debilitating to the company."
BUT SOME INVESTORS BELIEVE THAT A BREAKUP COULD ACTUALLY UNLOCK
SHAREHOLDER VALUE -- SIMILAR TO WHAT INVESTORS IN AT&T REAPED AFTER ITS
BREAKUP BACK IN 1984.
AND MICROSOFT'S LOSS WAS ITS RIVALS' GAIN. INVESTORS RUSHED IN TO BUY UP

BUT WHILE MICROSOFT'S LEGAL JOURNEY MAY BE FAR FROM OVER, ANALYSTS SAY
