EU warned to be careful on any Microsoft break-up

,----[ Quote ]
| The European Commission, Europe's top antitrust regulator, has never
| broken up a company for abusing its market dominance, although it
| has required major divestments by firms seeking permission to merge.
|

| could theoretically impose such a solution on Microsoft as the price
| of doing business in Europe.

,----[ Quote ]
| "It could be reasonable to draw the conclusion that behavioral remedies
| are ineffective and that a structural remedy is warranted," Kroes
| stated. While it may strike many as odd that the European Union
| could order a company located in the United States to split up or
| otherwise modify its structure, Kroes noted the possibility of
| such remedies is specifically mentioned in EU antitrust law.
