Right, and Microsoft buys back stock all the time, paradigm shift or no paradigm shift. Enough that if it was accounted for, they'd show a loss in the quarter options go out. Oh, I forgot, in Reggie's world, it's an employee compensation funding event, not a stock buyback. Never mind.

Cheers, Dan.

Reg,

>>It is not about being afraid. Look at IBM's financials, observe the fact that they are buying back stock in the middle of a paradigm shift, PAY ATTENTION!!

Is it not a fact that Microsoft has about $30 billion now in outstanding stock options. How much of their earnings went into buying back stock this past year? Or is that somehow shell-gamed into the R&D budget like cable stock buys?

Cheers,

Norm
