My understanding is that they get a tax credit for paying their employees in options, for MSFT, to the tune of a couple billion per year. That's a lot of tax that they've effectively shifted from their corporation to individual taxpayers. No wonder companies love to pay via options. Plus, they get their employees to give back part of their regular salary to subsidize the options.
