<<<<this coming from someone who held this stock all the way down for two or three years........ talk about wallet challenged....>>>> I never said that I currently own any MSFT shares. In fact, I don't. I started selling the shares I bought in 1987 in 1999. I never said MSFT is currently a buy. In fact, I'm not buying. It doesn't mean that I don't like MSFT, I'm monitoring it. <<<<and i didn't say granting 200 million ESO's cost MSFT $11 billion, i said that it cost you the shareholder $11 billion thru direct dilution...>>>> R e a d t h i s s l o w l y.

I also have never claimed that issuing ESO's is a good thing. I am and have been disputing the way you portray what the numbers actually mean and the way it financially affects the company. Your distortion and lies compel me to provide an what I feel an honest explanation of the impact that actually occurs on the financial statements and how the numbers are derived.
