I guess the stock market has a bone to pick with 25B a year in profit.. because Microsoft stock has been just about flat (no growth) for 3 years, and frankly, the prospects are that this is as good as its going to get. This is the definition of a Cash Cow. You can see this as a derogatory term, but its just a reality. Cash Cows pay dividends but they look more like bonds than stocks at that point. But, MSFT, has some serious clouds on the horizon.

Remind me of how "logical" the stock market is again. Because I have a faint memory of rubes bidding hundreds of dollars per share for worthless companies during the dotcom era...
