WTF is this?

Microsoft moves forward in first debt offering

finance.yahoo.com

Why would you, while sitting on a $25B mountain of cash, issue billions in debt? Are they positioning to take advantage of what they forsee as rising yields? Why else would you go into debt when you've already got all that cash?

Are they thinking they can issue the bonds and then get a credit on earnings every quarter that interest rates rise and the bonds fall?
