Technology Stocks : How high will Microsoft fly? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Just some random thoughts about Microsoft purchasing their own shares ... If their inability to purchase has caused the price of stock to drop beyond where it would otherwise, wouldn't this enable Microsoft to buy more shares or pay less for the same number? If Microsoft is engaged in purchasing stock, wouldn't they expect to pay a lower price if they didn't alert the public first? Wouldn't announcing their intentions invite adversarial speculators? Cheers, PW.
