Ho hum. Just another financial quarter for Microsoft, another $2 billion in cash added to the balance sheet. They're up to $40.5 billion now.
Now, to my mind, a company that generates that massive a cash hoard must have some plans to do something with the money, a business objective to use it for. Without getting into a flame war about operating systems, open vs. closed source, or anything else other than Microsoft as a business concern, what do you think MSFT has planned for all that loot?
