please explain to me, a total stranger to anti-trust about the benefits of "breaking up a corporation". its not like they magically become enemies and do opposing stuff. the owners are the same, employees are the same so if we break up Microsoft into say office division corp separate from windows, why won't they still work together as a "team"? does the anti-trust breakup mean they can't work together? like we face social logins to websites, will that break? this is a bit confusing

The benefit of antitrust is that it leaves a void left to be filled either by competition or 1 company specializing in it. It could of course be true they might still collaborate but that's all there is, if other companies work on getting a better product out it'll be hard for Microsoft to only support 1 application.
