You guys are dreaming, if you think the money they make is going to buy back shares. First of all, all those 'deals' we've been hearing about for months cost money, and that money will have to be paid back with profit, and probably with interest tacked on top. The buyback, if it ever happens, will have to work in concert with all the debt that has been racked up to get things going.
Buying back shares does only ONE thing: it reverses the dilution we've experienced getting to 6 billion shares outstanding. Buying them back only helps shareholders, not the company. They can only buy back with profit, which at this point is a non-known-entity.
Go ahead and dream, but don't whine when your chin hits the floor, when your expectations aren't met.
One thing is pretty certain: Those who bought up half the OS will probably also be those who sell back to the company. We won't notice much, since those shares are mostly not in circulation right now anyway.
