The correlation study is actually part of a very large interactive help file my programmer and I are putting together for a corporate analysis application. It was meant as a tool to provide insight, and not necessarily the be all and end all. I rely on economic value as the proxy for shareholder value. Along that metric, MSFT generates huge amounts. I have done considerably writing on the MSFT topic, and will dig up some links and post them when I get a chance.

In my opinion, most individual investors have, but then again, that is my opinion. Many institutions know better, but they would never publish such information. On the subject of earnings and how they do not track reality, let me point to a discussion I had on the NSCP v. MSFT thread - Message 4905343
