Huey, re "I really don't know whether the tax treatment would change were the current FASB rule were to go in to effect. Maybe Rkal knows." Don't know for sure, but I believe IRS treatment would not change. If true, there would be a noticeable increase in the effective tax rate on the SFAS 123 pro-forma earnings (versus GAAP earnings). Unfortunately, before-tax numbers are not being disclosed AFAIK. And even if they were, there might be no clue as to whether the current year tax-benefit (from exercise) was included. BTW, since MSFT began reporting per SFAS 123, I've not been able to determine the current period stock-based compensation amount. Not sure if it's not there, or if I just haven't figured out how to find it. Ron
