The good things of quick surge for MSFT are :

1) With stock price surge, Microsoft can keep their best employee . Who will stay in
a company whose stock price did not appreciate ? especially software engineers who have so many opportunities in those start ups, especially those internet companies ?

2) With stock split , the burden of Microsoft on employee option will be reduced significantly. Think about this way, 10000 shares of option will count 10000 / 2 billion of out standing , if the stock splits, the burden will be reduced to 10000 / 4 billion . So split is better than not split.
