Not ALL the shares are on the market. Check out the movie Wall St. Once peeps catch wind of this, it would go to the moon.
Is it even possible for a would be activist to get in the boardroom with management owning so much of the company? What a disaster for shareholders. MSFT is never right.
Wall Street is voting on the deal now. 11B shares down 1.74 = a loss of 19.14 billion dollars in market value. WTG MSFT!
