Answer 1

Dear ashok a,

You, my friend, are very correct. Corporations such as MSFT, INTL, DELL, AMD named in your details above are all such large floats that virtually all shareholders are in fact Minority Shareholders & because of this, should guard their rights as very precious.
More dramatic rights in connection with shareholder voting is a shareholder's right to "dissent" from certain extraordinary transactions. These actions include most mergers or share exchanges, the sale or exchange of all or substantially all the assets of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business and certain charter amendments that materially and adversely affect their shares. Upon dissent, a shareholder following the requirements of the statute may demand that his shares be redeemed for their fair value. Thus, a shareholder may force his way out of a corporation that is taking certain significant action with which the shareholder does not agree.

Answer 2

This can be a long answer. Simply put, some CEOs are concerned with only to increase the company's revenue on paper so they get their bonuses. The transactions may not benefit the share holders in the long run. They all depend on the value they picked. They are using the share holders' money to invest. Only the share holders with a big portion of company stocks can make a difference in decisions.

Answer 3

I am a "common shareholder" in most of the companies you mention (along with many, many others), and have consistently earned an average return of about 11.8% annually for over 20 years.

I think you might be doing something wrong!
