Well, it seems it is all in Gate's hands. But then, I wonder if the government would settle for anything other than breaking the company up. What constitutes meaningful settlement?

Another possibility, but probably far fetched. If the problem here is Gate's personality then it might be in the shareholder's best interests for Microsoft's board to remove Gates and Ballmer and put in people who will settle.

It wouldn't be the first time that the creater of a company got ousted by his board.
