Share price is diving? As compared to what?
Well for starters let's compare MSFT to AAPL. Here's a chart comparing them over the last 12 months:

If that link works correctly, any unbiased party will clearly acknowledge that in the past year Microsoft is up 15.5% (including today's slide) while Apple is down 30.0%.
So - the question becomes - precisely whose share price is diving? The clear answer is Apple, while Microsoft has done little but gone up over the last 12 months.
- CamperBob2 13y agoThat's because AAPL had something to lose. At their peak they were worth three DELLs more than MSFT.
- onebaddude 13y agoInteresting. At its peak, how much bigger was MSFT than Apple? Hint: Lots.
- CamperBob2 13y agoWe're only concerned with recent history here, though, aren't we? Everything I needed to know about Steve Ballmer -- and Microsoft's future -- I learned when he laughed at the iPhone on national TV.
