Thoughts:

Item - look at the massive P/E inflation in the past few years. To me this means there is much greater intrinsic downside than there's been in past declines (true for other stocks, too).

Item - the huge magnitude of the current decline makes it stand out.

Item - unlike many of the others, a large fraction of the current decline is due to factors affecting MSFT specifically. This distinguishes it from the 98 decline, which was a market-wide phenomenon.

Item - even for MSFT-specific declines, this is the first one where the near-infinite destructive power of the US legal system has been brought to bear. If I recall, the 96 decline was due to fears that NSCP was going to eat MSFT's lunch - like fun it was!
