do you want a revealing statistic on how MSFT is really doing? Operations for this quarter just announced in millions...... Net income $3,141 Common stock repurchased -$(3,116) NERALY ALL OF IT WAS BUYING BACK DILUTION SHARES FOR JUST THIS QUARTER, and all of the rest buying back dilution from previous years..... that means you as a shareholder gained nothing to your bottom line worth spit... and you can see that in the shareholder equity line, the line that contains how you really are doing as a MSFT shareholder.... Total stockholders' equity in millions sept '05 $48,327 june '05 $48,115 only a $200 million increase for a quarter........ that is less than 2 cents a share of real earnings after all expenses including dilution are added up......... that is some serious under performance for a back to school quarter.... god help the MSFT shareholder going forward... jon.
