Timba,

Here is another hi-tech company for option consideration:

Message 17865856

Microsoft already bought back 127.9 million shares at a cost of $6.1 billion in the last fiscal year. But that has primarily offset dilution from options as the number of shares outstanding has remained stable in the past year at about 5.6 billion.

From a single glance, looks quite a lot of money to me -almost equal to reported income. But then I did not do in-depth research.

Jurgis - would be interested in your comments on INTC and MSFT if you get to it...
