<< Intel CEO calls for expensing stock options >> If they use the methods Coke said they will use then the impact is insignificant. With KO's methods the impact won't be 20%, it won't even be 2%. Everyone should remember that if you look backwards at the option grants and how they theoretically would impact last year's earnings, it has nothing to do with the future. Using KO's methods, MSFT would show an insignificant impact to future EPS. This is a fact. jonkai likes to use the numbers distorted by the cashing in of options during the last stage of the bubble. That is not reality. Hopefully MSFT will adopt KO's methods and put this all behind us.
