Microsoft is a fraud. It's actually approaching debt and it never had that kind
of money. 

- From the Economist:

"For instance, Microsoft, the world’s most valuable company, declared a profit
of $4.5 billion in 1998; when the cost of options awarded that year, plus the
change in the value of outstanding options, is deducted, the firm made a loss
of $18 billion, according to Smithers."
