Volitility is all over the place, and trading volume is very high.
You are correct, though, fund managers will not be dumping the stock all at once. This will happen over time... perhaps as long as several months. If there is any truth to the allegations of stock manipulations presented in another article linked to by slashdot last week (or week before last?) this entire process could be distorted even more.
It is very telling that MS stock is down in heavy trading (even slightly) with options volitility all over the place, while most other tech stocks (including the under-siege CORL, not to mention SUNW, RHAT, etc.) are up, in some cases way up.
Your right, though, I would have expected (and relished) a more dramatic move in the price, but MSFT has defied reason for quite some time now, actually going up after unfavorable court rulings in the past, if you can believe that! Sometimes I am reminded of the Emporer's New Clothes...
