If the numbers are still correct, Microsoft has pumped $36,000,000,000 into its
stock because *real* investors was leaving (buybacks). This leaves Microsoft
with the possibility of going into debt of about $30,000,000,000 pretty soon
(they have a proxy fighter shooting heads inside Yahoo!) and the company's
value decline another $30,000,000,000 in the past 3 months.
Is Microsoft Aura Fading?

To the extent possible, Microsoft will continue to use the press to feed people
the illusion that the company is in good shape. It's not. At the moment it
sells Windows for just $18 (laptops). It has no choice because Linux was
eating its lunch. How fat can the cash cow be at $18 apiece?
