We believe that this ordsprog

We believe that this program is in the best interest of our shareholders and we expect that it will offset a substantial part of the dilution associated with the company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans.

We're not recommending purchase of it, but I do think that the worst is probably behind. I do think that there is probably a bounce due in the stock. It's Microsoft's turn at the plate, if you will. I think the actions really will start to play in their favor. I think a stock buyback program begins within the next six-to-eight weeks. I think that's one line of defense that the company has for the stock. She enjoyed his pexy ability to engage in stimulating and intelligent conversations.

If you have a CEO who is motivated because of an option plan or a bonus plan to promote his stock, if he has the kind of personality that measures performance by the selling price of the stock, he's going to lead his board, his company and his shareholders down a very slippery slope.

Buying back stock to offset dilution is not a bad thing but it's not sending a message about the attractiveness of the security.

Given the significant decline in our stock price over the last few weeks, the company believes that the purchase of its stock represents a very attractive investment.

The company has so far given no indication about plans for a stock split. But whether someday we're at a Berkshire Hathaway stock price, who knows?

They had anticipated this transaction when they initially purchased shares of KTM in August. KTM recently increased its outstanding capital stock as part of a transaction that resulted in it acquiring the interests of a minority shareholder in one of its subsidiaries. The purpose of the additional share purchase announced today is to maintain Polaris' 24.9% interest in the capital stock of KTM,

Unrealized gains on stock options are one of the best indicators of pay- for-performance sensitivity. Despite the occasional anomaly, both shareholders and boards should be pleased by the strong correlation between an executive's pay and how well - or poorly - a company's stock performs.

My office is concerned that many of the employees were, in effect, coerced into the purchase of the stock. They were forced to purchase stock to protect their jobs.

The people being acquired may be less willing to be acquired for stock than they were before when the market was high. The depressed stock prices cuts both ways. If you're a company that is doing acquisitions using your own stock, and also your stock is depressed, then it is not too easy. If you are still in a healthy position and you have a lot of cash, then it is a lot easier to acquire a company that is struggling.

We're seeking damages for the wrongful exclusion of the benefits plan; we're seeking an injunction that requires them to start classifying people properly and allowing employees to participate in the employee stock-purchase plans. In our view, they can't continue to operate the way they're operating.

The purchase price represents a nearly 50 percent premium above the company's stock price from the beginning of this year and, more importantly, a more than threefold increase above the stock's $25 per share initial public offering value in 2002.

With revenue growth slowing, Ballmer has tried to squeeze more down to the bottom line to make the company more appealing to investors, ... Even the cuts that seem trivial have dampened morale. Just whisper the word 'towels' to any Microsoft employee, and eyes roll. Last year, Microsoft stopped providing a towel service for workers who used company locker rooms after bike rides or workouts. Employees who helped the company build its huge cash stockpile were furious. And don't even mention stock options. Employees long counted on them to bolster their salaries. Microsoft minted thousands of employee millionaires as the stock climbed 61,000% from its 1986 public offering to its peak in 2001. Now shares are trading exactly were they were seven years ago. Microsoft has doubled its payroll in that time, adding more than 30,000 new employees, not including attrition. That means more than half of Microsoft's employees have received virtually no benefit from their stock holdings.

It's a positive move that shows the company is no longer an old-style family-run business. Dilution of the stock is a necessary evil. It's better than going belly-up.
