yeah. but as i said. a whole lot of a difference. make it 15 years and u payed 60 bucks per share

i would only sell, if u see the dow crashing like 2008. and if it will crash. buy msft again for 16 bucks :D 

i payed 26 bucks end of 2012

Tbh, I might sell up anyway, stocks can and most likely will raise in future, but i figure i can cut and run now , id still have my other stocks in several other companies for rainy days.

May as well spend it while im still young enough to enjoy it.

There are other ways to get at the cash and not pay the capital gains tax. Although I think this is ludicrous law it is law.  In the US you wont pay any gains until you sell and if you die first and leave stock to your kids they will inherit the stock at current price and all unrealized capital gains will be washed away.  So if you can borrow against the stock at a nice low interest rate and save the capital gains tax.
