I'm curious what would happen if MicroSoft simply announced that they have
no intentions of breaking up the company, and intend to just go on with
business as usual, disregarding government orders, and that they would no
longer bother to even show up at the trial. Whoever made the decision could
be arrested, and if this included enough people, MS could cease to function.
What would be the effect on the economy, and would the government be smart
enough to know this effect and not arrest them?
