In answering the question of what stocks will benefit from a msft breakup, it may be worth speculating as to what parts msft will be divided into.

I'll get it started:

1. consumer software (95/98(or 98 derivatives)/office/ie(ie circa 1999) etc)
2. business software (NT(or NT derivatives)/office/ie (ie circa 1999) etc)
3. MAC software (Mac office etc)
4. platform independent software (java, streaming audio/video)
5. development tools (VB/VC/java etc)
6. hardware
7. internet (ie circa 2000 onwards)

As my knowledge of msft is limited, comments to the above list are appreciated.
