That then begs the question, 'Why should they do it?'
If you want shares in a holding company, you buy Berkshire Hathoway shares or something similar. You want Buffet on that job, not Ballmer. MSFT should (and do) give this money back to shareholders to invest in 'businesses that offer nice, steady returns, in areas outside of tech' themselves. They don't need Microsoft for that.
