little expensive. Totally say that you should buy

actually this means quite a lot. while apple is still raking in money even with the current economic climate, microsoft is being forced to make cutbacks in numerous areas, as seen by the recent job layoffs.

Microsoft's two biggest cash cows (OS and Office) are starting to crumble as well. Vista hasn't had nearly the adoptions rates they'd hoped and most people hate it along with the latest upgrade of Office, which completely ruined a function layout. Now microsoft is going to have to deal with people and companies choosing google's free office apps and free cell phone OS. One could only imagine what would happen if google came out with an open source OS for computers.

On the other hand, apple has kept their premium branding and is still profitable. Ironically, the subsidized iphone is cheaper than subsidized andriod (google) phones.

[...] Business has been booming the past few years for Apple thanks to a mixture of strong computer sales (particularly laptops), iPods and most recently the iPhone (the new 3G version has seen especially strong sales). But, with layoffs hitting companies like Dell, Yahoo and AMD and hiring freezes even in place at Google, Apple, like every other company, will have to be cautious of the way it controls its business over the next several months. (Though it has plenty of cash on hand.) [...]

Microsoft bought back their stock because they didn't have anything better to do with the money. The main result of the buyback and the dividends is to reward the major shareholders (aka: Microsoft Executives). So far the shares are worth about 20% less than they paid for them, so the return to any shareholders has yet to be seen,

Apple is still in cash, not equities.

Carlos,

Microsoft doesn't need to keep investors interested in their stock. That might be true if they needed to raise cash or debt, which they don't. Investors remain interested because Microsoft is one of the most amazingly profitable companies in the world, especially given its size.
