    Microsoft is doing quite well offshore,
    They just can't figure out how to bring the money home and avoid taxes by democrats
    So here are the layoffs,

    Only philanthropist agree with the Buffett rule,
    As a business they do not
    Well, I suppose they could move off-shore and then we wouldn't need to care about them. Gosh, maybe the Chinese government would buy them.

    Oh and those Democratic taxes pay those Republican politicians salaries too.

    All of this news of another wave of layoffs coming is no surprise to me. Andrew is right when he mentioned that all of their flagship line products like windows etc has not done very well on the market because in fact they havent!. Windows 8 is a complete joke IMO and I and countless others I know will never want to upgrade to it unless absolutely essential due to end of support, etc. of windows 7 and unfortunately microsoft has done a number of things that just have not bid well with the general public and i think thats one of the bottom line things here.

    MS is doing well, but laying off people helps the bottom line. Nevermind the people who loose their jobs. Also, companies streamline their processes. It's not like these are production workers, these are coders, etc.

    Well unless I am reading your chart wrong, basically it says they had a .75 cent increase during a ten day time frame. Not quite what what I would say is stellar. However since 2012 it has raised approximately $10.00 per share which is not bad.
