RE: todays price moves.
I called my broker and was told that there were about 6 big orders up to about 100,000 shares close together. He got that from DJ newswires--Maybe someone can confirm. It just did not recover from it and traded at 146 last time i checked.

"One do not get MSFT down from high almost 20% very often"

Actually these opportunities present themselves about once a year. Last year's Oct. low was 26.7% off its peak. In 1997 there was about a 23% drop from peak to trough. We are now down only about 18.2%. Not so unusual.
