Look at how it effects Coke's EPS. A whole penny you must have missed the part of the post about a kid in a candy store.... you don't have to bet about the one cent.... you can look it up.... MSFT earnings that are reportable, would drop by an average of a Third, using these proforma numbers that MSFT supplies themselves...... a THIRD FOR FUTURE QUARTERS..... let alone the Billions of options they've granted in the past already draging your stock down.... look it up, it really isn't that hard.... even a Bloomberg reporter can do it...... quote.bloomberg.com even Jim Jubak looked it up..... thestreet.com you seem to not understand that MSFT grants options in the future too..... to the tune of 200 million options on average a year....
