FWIW, MSFT is doing the right things with its cash, yes he needs more than a few billion to keep the company operating.
If you lived in uncertain times wouldn't you want a larger reserve?

Cash is king and hands down is the best assett for maintaining flexibility in uncertain times. In the dynamic high tech market, during what can only be considered an inflection point. The best companies should keep cash, make many investments in different areas to help determine critical paths and maintain options. When the course is known with higher probability then unpromising paths are pruned while increasing amounts of cash can be directed at the schwerpunkt(s).
