"..hiding expenses and smoothing quarters through cookie jar accounting.."

SEC investigated this and found nothing illegal that warranted penalties. The matter is settled.

MSFT has $40B in cash. That is not accounting magic. They went the other way. They under-reported good quarters in an attempt to save revenue for lean quarters.

MSFT, like most other companies was over-valued by rabid inverstors in the bubble, and thus the correction was inevitable. At least MSFT inverstors own shares of a real company, not some piece of dot.com trash.
