The dollar has inflated 40% since 1999, so the value of a MSFT share has decreased quite a bit.

Is that still the case when dividends are taken into account?

If I've held a share since 1999, in place of it I don't just have a share today: I have whatever I've done with the dividend payments that came in the interim.
