I learned today that Buffett recently purchased 167,500 shares of MSFT

Not exactly, about 2 and a half years ago, Microsoft issued convertible bonds, paying 3% and convertible into half a million of common, but limited to about an 18% value appreciation. One third of this issue was purchased by one of Berkshire Hathaway's 100% wholly owned subsidiaries, probably GEICO. The subsidiary still runs its own portfolio, independent of Warren.

But other than that your post is pretty much correct.
