Microsoft Has No Contingency Plan Should They Be Broken Up
from the seems-a-bit-risky dept
Okay, so the chance of Microsoft actually being broken up are pretty slim. However, I'd say that a responsible company has some plans in mind for just about any eventuality, and a lawsuit that has already said you should be broken up seems like just one of those eventualities you should be prepared for. So, it's a bit of a surprise (and says something about how Microsoft acts) to hear them say they have no contingency plan if they actually are broken up. Now I almost want to see them broken up, just to see them scramble.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
