OT: No Microsoft didn't start pink, it was never a penny stock, although that is a popular urban myth on the stock threads.

It IPO'd in 1986 at $21.00 but the first trade was at $25.50 and hit a high of $29.25 that day and closed at $27.75.

Initial public offering raised $61 million. They had $140+ million in revenues in 1985.
