If you are referring to the lack of accounting of stock options on the P & L, then I agree with you. But this ploy is not exclusive to MSFT.
SUNW, INTC and many, many more companies are guilty. The FASB tried take action, but the attempt was stymied by politics. If this continues much longer the entire stock market might just turn into a big ponzi scheme.

while the landscape shifts into Java, Jini and bigger - more capable servers serving smart applicances.

Jini, Java, and Java Daba Daba Doba. What is all this talk about Java. Do you know what Gates said about Java?
