Wow! Makes me wonder!

July 16, 2006

Todd Bishop has just posted the grand total Microsoft has paid out in antitrust settlements. Its $6.83 billion!! Check out his posting here.

And according to MSFTExtremeMakeOver, the total shareholder value destroyed since 1999 is $360 billion!
He also adds that the total shareholder value lost at Tyco, Lucent, Worldcom, and Enron combined is $192 billion.

Wow! I just have to come to the terms that the Internet Gold Rush era is over and start looking at the Microsoft stock price more often. Wait, I take that back…no need to look at Microsoft stock price that often :)
