M$ decline started when they got scared by Linux. The non-success of the X-Box just confirms it. Eventually stockholders will see a pattern they don't like, figures that won't match up and that will be the end of it.

I do. What else have they done that they haven't admitted to?

After all, the only way to make money out of MS shares is by capital gain, since MS has never paid a dividend. Ever. And now the stockmarkets, and especially the NASDAQ, are currently wallowing in the mire...
