Should they instead give it to the poor? No Buy 500 startups? No. Add another 15,000 FTE's? No.

Two choices? Large dividend payout (like they did one other time) or buy back shares. Its not like the company had debt to pay down.]]> Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:48:03 -0400

Personally, I love the long-term approach that Ballmer and Co. are taking. Its REFRESHING and I wish more American businesses would/could do it.

If you're curious about the IRR, which is what you are worried about... go re-listen to Chris Liddell's presentation before the closing Q&A. He showed a slide or two that made a TON of sense.]]> Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:13:36 -0400

Save the proper grammer for your lectures of 50+ year old people... the last generation concerned with such trivial things.

"Facts are debatable". Let me clarify. I should have said "The Facts in the linked story are debatable". The story that searchguru linked to is FULLY DEBATABLE. Those aren't facts.]]> Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:11:07 -0400

He moves his estimate down (49/700 = 7%) but still 93% above the average analyst following MSFT.

DiBona "also repeated his above-consensus Q1 revenue estimate of $24.3 billion; the Street sees $23.6 billion."

ABOVE-CONSENSUS!!!

So, now rather than admit any error... he blames Microsoft. Real classy Charles.

"MS does not want to license anything from anyone"
You're entitled to your opinions, but this statement is factual inaccurate. There is perhaps no other company in the software industry who licenses more software from other companies.

"Oracle is better for databases". Now come on. Don't let your hatred of microsoft cause you to say wholly ignorant things. Don't lose focus that your can personally not like a group of people (Microsoft) without making every action/product and word out of their mouth... pure evil. Stop trying to draw a characture of a company for the sole purpose of making it easier for you to spew venom on them. Thats childish.]]> Sat, 07 Jun 2008 16:46:27 -0400

Say something new. Thats been the byline for 10 years running, and its getting old. AOL was going to kill Microsoft. So was netscape, sun, oracle, sap, open source, google, apple, linux, open office, php, mysql, ibm, novell, gpl, real, adobe, symantec, quicken, and the list goes on and on.

Yet, profits at msft have never been better. Wishful thinking on your part, is just that - WISHFUL. Doesn't make it true or happen any faster. And in the years between your blind prognostication... and any measureable loss by msft: only proves your inaccuracy.]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:52:40 -0400

ZB, you're living in the past. Seriously, these losses to our liberty aren't occurring NOW... they occurred long ago. You live in a fantasy if you think you are free. Don't pay your taxes, and sit in the house and wait for the men with guns to show up. Thats not freedom, and thats using powers from a hundred years ago.]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:08:02 -0400

Seems to me that Spitzer broke the law, and was caught. So, you are wrong.

Iin this article you make a very weak case for it. You seem to be trying to rally the troops for the cause of liberty... but your only call to arms is a generic "its an invasion of privacy". Thats not enough, for discerning readers. HOW is my freedom being hurt? HOW? Answer that simple question. HOW am I hurt? Just because it breaks your philosophy, in relation to privacy... doesn't equate to it causing HARM to you (or me).]]> Sat, 15 Mar 2008 18:23:36 -0400

Kudos to the EU for effectively raising the price that EU consumers will pay for MSFT goods. Oh, you don't think that $1.3B will be pushed right down to the consumer? Then perhaps you should check the DEFINITION of monopoly.]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:52:09 -0500

Take this comment for example...

"dividend to 4% (just think of how many people would buy stock)"

So, upon raising the dividend 4 fold (oh, and do the math and you'll see how much cash that will require annually) and for half a trading day... people WILL buy... right until that dividend yield is right back where it is now. And the net gain will be a nice warm bowl of nothing.]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:05:31 -0500
