Glad to see that you agree that Microsoft is a ponzi scheme...

A $470 Billion valuation of Microsoft is absurd, but goes a long way in explaining M$'s outrageous licensing (which will ultimately doom the company)

Clue: The whole stock market is a ponzi scheme, you dope. It doesn't reflect real value. It's a fantasy.

I dunno. MS was one of the few companies in the software sector that made any money over the past couple years. Will they continue to make money in ten years? I don't know. But I wouldn't bet against a company with $40 to $50B in the bank and zero debt.
