If you're referring to past performance of a stock (growth).... Microsoft would not be high on my list (at least the last 5 years).
Even if it was.... that reason alone would not be one to buy the stock. Past performance is not an indicator of future results.
If you're new to stocks you need to do a whole lot more reading and grow your understanding of the market.
Never ask for or take "tips".
Asking strangers whose qualifications and motives can't be verified is also a dangerous road to financial loss.
Be careful. Learn as much as you can. Start slowly with well diversified Mutual Funds.
Good luck!

Im not big on stocks, but i can tell you that microsofts stock has held steady for nearly six years. Which is nice for stability, but wont get you any gains. So whats the point, you would be buying in high, just to sell the same. Going against the basics of buy low, sell high.
