Should the Company choose to suddenly reel in the majority of those puts, the stock may rally.

FYI, those puts are now ALL deep in the money:

From their most recent 10-Q, linked above:

Note that the puts are not 'naked' in the normal sense.

To enhance its stock repurchase program, Microsoft sold put warrants to independent third parties. These put warrants entitle the holders to sell shares of Microsoft common stock to the Company on certain dates at specified prices. On March 31, 2000, 163 million warrants were outstanding with strike prices ranging from $69 to $78 per share. The put warrants expire between June 2000 and December 2002. The outstanding put warrants permit a net-share settlement at the Company's option and do not result in a put warrant liability on the balance sheet.
