I just have a difficult time believing much of that.

Reading through those bullet points, I have the questions: How, what, and where? Can these companies simply make up numbers like the government does? If true, I believe it’s a ‘one-off’. There’s no good reason for this.

Have just started using a Linux computer. It’s THE most awesome pc I have EVER used. Fastest, sleekest looking desktop etc.

This Single 64bit Athlon with 2gb Ram Linux BLOWS AWAY any dual proc xp or win7 box that has 4gb or ram. I know because I have every OS on a kvm switch and can go between them at ease.

fyi
Linux Mint Cinnamon 17 is the flavor. Found this very helpful.

Must be hard accepting that MS is performing well, and they just won't die or go away, like you wish.

So, tell me, how long do you think a company can continue lying about great earnings quarters, and those quarters have been many, for many years now.

Microsoft is a public company, with too many investors that could be lied to. Lying on a quarterly report can be easy to find, and it's impossible to tell lies for too long.

Fact is that, MS has been doing a lot better than Google for many years now, but, Google continues to have a high market value, and with no real growth path in sight; meanwhile, MS is the only tech company out there with huge diversification, which would make it more capable of surviving an economic downturn than any other out there, including Apple or Google or IBM or any other you can think of.

As far as I can tell, MS will come out with another quarter with good or great earnings, but, to you, it will be just another lie. But, keep lying to yourself, and whatever you do, don't get MS stock, because, the company's value is all a lie. BTW, It's never been true that Microsoft has sold so many Windows licenses; Apple is really the one with 90% market share in PCs.
