Saturn, "Microsoft to spend $75 billion in buyback, dividends"

"The software giant’s plan includes buying back $30 billion in stock over four years, a one-time dividend of $3 a share and doubling its regular dividend. Stocks end higher."

"Microsoft disclosed last month that it had initiated merger talks with German software maker SAP, but called off the potentially costly deal after deciding it would be too complex."
