Wow, this is going to be the best thing for MSFT stock (and probably the company) in the past 10 years. I'm excited about having a real force to counterbalance Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon again. This, and the other company response to it, might be good for +0.05% GDP growth or something crazy like that.

Already up about $2.70 (8%) in pre-market trading. Looking to be very good.

  What a fabulous present to all of us employees whose stock vests on 8/31!

> I'm excited about having a real force to counterbalance > Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon again. Are these 4 independent corporations somehow conspiring to restrict your choices in some way? :)

  5 > 4. And really they're not all players in everything Microsoft does (Google is closest); FB isn't going to touch a phone again, and doesn't do a desktop OS, etc. Azure/AWS/GCE would be better than today (where we really just have AWS). Android/iOS/WP would be nice. etc.
