Pete, if there is a buyout and the figure is $2 billion that would equal $100 per share or take shares in the purchasing company depending on the share ratio. If you choose to not take shares in Microsoft :) or someone else you could sell the shares and live happily ever after, that is my understand of a buyout.

my personal preferance would be all stock...immediate No Tax Event until YOU chose to sell...otherwise its an immediate 31% (total) capital gains tax when you add in Obamacare Medicare tax for combined earnings (wages, investment income, capital gains)over $200K ...which I would hope everyone would be in with a buy-out.
