[Am-info] MS bad day

I don't think Mr. Gates had a good day today.

Stock down $2.30, to a level significantly *below* the price it was a
year ago.

All the financial gurus are commenting about how poor MS performance was
this quarter.

And the Europeans are not about to give them such a sweetheart deal like
the US Gov't did.

So, I wonder how all those Microsoft employees are relishing their
"restricted stock" that Gates pays them instead of real money.  He took
away their options when they became worthless and gave them bogus stock
instead.

But that's OK.  Mr. Gates cashed out much of his MSFT stock over the
years.  So did Ballmer.

What a guy!  What a pair of guys!

I predict - we're going to see some real juvenile behavior from Baby
Gates over the next few months.  Ballmer always behaves like an idiot.
