Off Topic re: expensing options but then back On Topic for the second paragraph.

About a month ago when I produced the estimate that last quarter MSFTs profits would have been $0.99 billion instead of $1.45 billion if companies had to expense options, and that MSFT's share price might drop by about one-third, the replies I received said that nobody (except me and, I guess Lizzie, when she looks at undiluted PE in response to my emails) looks at undiluted PEs. Everybody else takes this into account so that there would be no drop in share price.

On Topic
Yet I find it hard to believe that if CSCO reported net income of $373 million, it would not affect their cap.
