ha ha!! turns out steve jobs did something unethical and we find someone turning the heat on msft :-). ok so well i guess you could have mentioned the part where msft restated its earnings in 1999 (and took a hit of $217 mln - voluntarily) and also the part that says these options were made to "new" employees - not to board directors or CEOs.
