New Yabut... lookey the 5year thing...
[link|http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT&d=c&k=c1&a=v&p=s&t=5y&l=on&z=m&q=l | 5 Year Chart]... looks pretty flat... even with the splits...

These are all the splits:

Splits: 21-Sep-87 [2:1], 16-Apr-90 [2:1], 27-Jun-91 [3:2], 15-Jun-92 [3:2], 23-May-94 [2:1], 9-Dec-96 [2:1], 23-Feb-98 [2:1], 29-Mar-99 [2:1], 18-Feb-03 [2:1]

As you can see Feb 18th was the split date.

New Do note it's a log scale. :-)
Logarithms tend to flatten out excursions.

You're right though that the stock hasn't ended up much higher than it was 5 years ago.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Market cap
I checked Yahoo and they have the highest market cap of the top companies that I looked at so cnet must not have made the correction for the 2-1 split.
