Michael, RE: There are tons of choices that have to be made in the current accounting framework. I'd go after the accounting for options far before I went after IR&D/purchase accounting. True. In DELL's particular case, employee options accounting has been far more influential in overstating earnings than IR&D. With the stock's recent performance, however, this effect has been muted. What will be interesting is if the stock's current performance continues, how the company's use of options in its stock repurchase program affects cash flows.
