<That last is a cool $8 billion or so at current prices. But we all know any company that does a stock buyback is moronic, right Reggie? In the middle of a paradigm shift, no less. But at Microsoft a stock buyback isn't a stock buyback, and if employees really had all the options that the boobs in the press claim they could buy the company. The press boobs just don't understand options theory, they're all too busy selling advertising.>

You should work in the press, you know just as much as some of the people you quote. A couple of quizzes for the smart-mouthed Schuh:

1.) What is the difference between the words authorized and purchased?

2.) Does Intel have a hefty option/equity meritorious compensation program which REQUIRES the purchase of stock for funding and the prevention of dilution?

3.) Is this the same as buying back stock in an explicit and direct attempt to boost shareholder value within the tornado?

4.) Do you get ALL of your education from the press?

Your homework is due within 24 hours!
