Microsoft market cap up by 5 billion in a month

So seems Live search just jumped 5% due to some reasons including me using it and also some give aways for Americans.

So a 5% increase in market share means an increase in 5 billion market cap.

Comscore also validates it

So live's formula seems simple pay 1 billion to lenovo,  give aways worth nothing  like vista ultimate and boom 5 billion. This is some crazy money   

EDIT: even after removing the live search club it seems that live search is still up.
