It's well documented in one of the posts on the Motely Fool Board for MSFT when Jonboy was originally run off.

Try it yourself. Take every single tech company from the Nasdaq 100 (as an example) and plug it into a chart that compares it to MSFT from the date of the post (March 2000).

You WILL find that MSFT has fallen much less than almost every tech company. You WILL find that most tech companies have fallen 70 - 99% and that's if they are still listed on the Nasdaq 100. A VERY large number that were in this index back in early 2000 are bankrupt and no longer included in the index.

Here's a list of the tech companies that made up the Nasdaq 100 back in March 2000. MSFT has outperformed 95% of them.
