Microsoft stocks went 2% up today, so I don't think this stuff is true....

 

Didn't Sony's stock price rise 2.7% just after they announced their cuts?

 

 

Cuts might boost stock prices, but M$ is extremely profitable, and mssive layoffs play havocwith morale...so it's a double edge sword.  Given that M$ is fighting like crazy against Google for search, a list of competitors for internet portal, and others forgamig, along with the global slowdown,  you don't want people looking over their shoulders for keeping their livelyhood.
