The Coke analogy might not be pretty apt, but I think 11% was a bit harsh. I don't especially mind the thought of them spending piles of money in an attempt to trump GOOG/YHOO, or just to move the needly by 2008.

I never have fully understood why the market apparently reacts, or in many cases "over reacts" when stocks don't "meet analysts expectations" I've seen stocks get hammered over a penny a share. I think anyone who can forecast earnings within a penny or two has done a pretty good job when you consider today's economy and the millions of dollars in revenues involved. What I don't really understand is Microsoft's valuation. Afterall, they are probably one of the only major corporation in this country to waltz right through a recession like it never happened. And certainly the only major tech company to do so. I think the anti-trust suit grounded them and they never got back going with the stock price. How long can a $45 stock trade for $25?

I believe that an 11% drop in MSFT stock price in one day is highly exagerated. Such a solid company's shares should have been trading at a higher range than $25. I have no doubt that the combined financial and intllectual strength of MSFT will soon overcome the challenge of Google/Ebay/Yahoo.

Understanding of Microsoft comes from understanding their product line up. 2007 collection like very promissing and considered by many "next big thing(s)". Pleanty of corporates will be upgrading. Things are looking good.

So I'm curious, it seems like it's on sale, anyone buying (more)?

This is all about ramped up cap Ex. the market should see this as a blessing (Softee has enough coin to go around; Google should've sold off today and it didn't, which caught me off guard) but for some reason, investors are acting like MSFT doesn't throw off tons of cash. Softee is a cash cow. The stock is dead, but not for long. We all bought some on today's selloff. Expectations for the stock are ridiculously high. I believe that Dell and Softee will climb back in sync. Both are great buys at these basement level multiples. I see MSFT stock at $30 by Christmas.

Mer looks strong

down 2.5 What are the general thoughts Is this a buy Should be 100 by December

MSFT should just buy YHOO. Get it out of the way, a quick fix is the only patience we have now. Vista 2008 anyone!!!

at these numbers, MSFT definitely, in my opinion ,represents a buying oppertunity.It is the premier Tech company on which nearly all others operate from. I cannot understand why Wall Street doesn't give it the recognition it deserves based on growth, innovation, cash flow and again cash flow. I t in my estmation very undervalued.

I bought 2000 more at 45.45 all the reserch i`ve done says this is a buy.

watch softee go down a few more points before you even think of buying. This is hardly a buying opportunity and to tell you the truth there are several other stocks in the industry that are worth a look over msft.

Changing to MS Word from Word Perfect because of a tie-in with a law firm management system gave the Firm MS, crippled us, and then sent us packing. Thank you Mr. Bill.
Hope an ORCA dines on your buzzard bait body.

Softies got a lot of things going at home and abroad
The company has money because they do it as right as possible. This stock as all agree are undervalued
by my estimates as much as 25-30 us dollars! Google has one revenue source and that looks like its under fire for fraud. What amazes me is that a Google can command 5-600 dollars with so much risk. Id pay 900 for softie before id paid 23 for google.

I have been watching msft for a while and it seems to me that anytime it goes under $25 should be considered a buy with minimal risk provided that you have low brokerage fees or even better buy direct with minimums per month and I would venture a guess that in ten years time, you will have a tidy sum.

Microsoft in the $22-$23 range is like stealing money from the bank. Look for a 12-month price of $28-$30. Buy, buy, buy. You will be quite pleased in the long term.
