Things are looking very bleak in the MS share price at the moment,
although it should be noted that few technology companies are doing
spectacularly well. Microsoft have reinvested an enormous amount of
cash into share buy-back, though, unlike most technology companies, so
it's quite possible that things would look much worse otherwise.
