i remember when in my last class of college I made a report about Microsoft and an acquisition proposal. I said that it was a good idea for Microsoft to acquire RIM (now blackberry). I also said to stop their equity buyback strategy and focus on growth. With said saving acquire RIM, which was over $40 then.
I still stand by that idea.

Uh, MSFT currently pays out 45% of profit towards the dividend, I think that they've already decided that they aren't a growth company anymore and that at this point, they will get more stock performance by rewarding the shareholders than by seeking new growth. BTW, paying out such a large chunk of profit is going to kill any fanboy dreams of growth...just wait for it not to materialize. Only god can make MSFT grow at this point, but I still think that they will do alright.
Btw, according to a most of the analysts these days; MSFT should be classified as a value stock.
