And with Microsoft's stock purchase plan you are incentivized to buy stock anyways.

  ESPP isn't exactly like buying stock, it's more like lending the company your paycheck for a few months in return for a free 10-15% return. Which is pretty good!

Right, but if you got a raise you could buy more stock. Without a raise, you're worse off whatever you do.
