Reminds me of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" when Mickey splits the broom
into two...

> Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows CE.
>
> The company will also receive a license to continue to distribute
> software code for Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser. However,
> the company will be required to develop its own independent browser to

> "The result will be revitalized competition in the browser market, which
> the court found Microsoft illegally had attempted to monopolize," said
