This deep deep-in-the-money short-term put has almost no time-value and to play it is equivalent to play the stock directly (short). The difference is that they only need $28 to play $92 stock. For shorting a stock you may need half value of that stock as a margin. It is almost the same thing to short MSFT, only w/ much less money, also provided the liquidity is good.
