Keith Fitz-Gerald’s reason number 5:
>Microsoft spent $26 billion on research over the last three years. Meanwhile, Apple spent $5.54 billion and managed to crank out products light years better than anything Microsoft has come up with. No question which group of shareholders is getting the most bang for the buck.

Great list of reasons. I am a bit more rosy in my Microsoft outlook right now, but I still think Ballmer should have been gone more than 2 years ago.
