What to do with that cash?
CNN/Money looks at the issue of Microsoft's cash balance in this story and, in a related sidebar, offers a few ideas for how the company could use the money. Among the ideas: Creating a Seattle sports monopoly with the purchase of the Sonics, Mariners and Seahawks for a mere $1.2 billion.
Of course, as Seattle sports fans know, the company is already part of the way toward that goal. Several Microsoft executives are part of the Mariners ownership group, and, though he's no longer with the company, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen owns the Seahawks.
