RE: before, only the "top employees" got these options

MSFT has always given all full-time regular employees options. I know a few ex-MSFT'rs that are doing quite well.

RE: except fix bugs in an OS that should have been fixed 10 years ago?

Have you run Mozilla? Do you think that it is hard to crash Linux? SW is still as much art as science. Bugs are a fact of life. At least MSFT OS has been moving forward in stability. I have very few problems with XP.

From your ranting, one can surmise that you are most interested in getting MSFT. You and the rest of the MSFT bashers can hardly pretend that you have MSFT's shareholders best interests at the forefront of your concerns. All in all, MSFT's shareholders have fared well in the two year thrashing (relatively speaking). They have only lost 60% from their peak. Few tech issues have fared as well.
