Anyone buying or Selling?
Is it Bing or Windows 7 that's giving them the boost?

I been selling some of my shares last few weeks to take gains but still holding. Will buy again when it drops.

Have you been buying anything lately?

The surface PC should do well also. I wonder when they will launch it's marketing.

Until it breaks over 30 it is still stuck in the same range it has been in for many years around 2001 or so if I remember right.

Should get a boost from the things you mentioned but until it is able make some large cracks in Google's armor I wouldn't expect it to go anywhere. Not a bad stock but still probably better places to put your money.

The time to own Microsoft was in the 80's. Back then, they were a growth company, but not anymore. Now they're just trying to maintain what market share they were able to achieve when they were a growth company.

Their battle with Google over search engine market share will fail.

Their fight with Apple to gain share of the mp3 music/player market has failed.

They do have Xbox going for them, but unfortunately, the revenue generated from their Xbox business is only a small blip on the radar that is Microsoft's overall revenue.

Ya, MS is headed to doom on all fronts. Search engine and mp3 were wasted ventures. Their OS will only go downhill like their browser. Their only good product is xbox.
