i'm sorry but who are the investors in question here? the board of MS holds most of the stock and I doubt any major shareholder needs to be in an article to get their points heard by MS...

 

Also this article is ignorant to the notion of sunk cost. you make strategic planning on the future gains, not on the past losses (all you do for that is fire executives). Xbox is profiatable -> article is retarded.

its not necessarily MS's board owns most shares

it can be that the public has 60% shares in minor quantity

but the other 40% are owned by people with is big blocks

 

if the minor investors come together ,MS board of directors have a problem

I did some research... and yeah it's all bull :p only gates has 7.5% others have much less.

 

Ownership Information
Shares Outstanding	8.76 Bil
Institutional Ownership (%)	62.86
Top 10 Institutions (%)	22.80
Mutual Fund Ownership (%)	1.42
5%/Insider Ownership (%)	13.81
Float (%)	86.19

doesn't remove the sunk cost argument though.
