MSFT have always bought stock in the open market, but this has been to fund the employee stock purchase program rather than de-whatever the shares and take them out of circulation. If MSFT has started buying back shares for the purpose of increasing shareholder value, it would indeed be news. However, I suspect Bill thinks he can do more with the cash than shareholders. I didn't know about the offer to engineers! If MSFT can get NT out before Aug, that would be very good news! There's been talk of a stock split for some time now, but no official position. Has that changed? Richard
