Anything that makes Microsoft or Microsoft shareholders unhappy is a good thing, IMHO.
Until one considers people with a pension plan, IRA, or 401K. For many of these people with the later two they don't pick individual stocks, they pick funds that are managed by a "pro". Many of these funds own Microsoft.
Wow. Expecting Microsoft to take care of them .. that's like socialism.
I'll get my coat.

The dividend is currently paying 3%.
Investing in MSFT is like buying government treasuries, only the yield is higher and Microsoft is less likely to default.
