James, Your Microsoft holding sounds like a perfect candidate for charitable contribution. It's all capital gains so you avoid paying taxes on it plus you can write off the entire amount against your AGI. Considering how much it must be you could pay zero taxes for ? years!

Of course, if I'd been that perceptive to buy into Gates back then and hold onto it, I'm sure I couldn't bring myself to give it away.
