<< what exactly did you think MSFT is taking all these "one time" charges for recently? >>

Investments that didn't work out. I agree that they spent money at a time when these investments were overpriced. Good thing is they didn't spend very much.

It's the people that say "why didn't MSFT spend their cash, they are hoarding it" that I have a problem with.

There are idiots that think there is some sort of problem with MSFT hoarding cash during an equity bubble and the bear market that follows. MSFT is not stupid, but the people that criticize them for a living ARE.
