  1. Comment - Unsealed documents add to Yahoo-Microsoft drama

    LOL!
    Death of MSFT? I didn't say DEATH. Hard to imagine MSFT going away completely any time soon. I think relevancy is the right idea though. We all still use telephones but Bell has gone away, phone booths are all but gone. MSFT mediocrity and mis-steps at search and advertising are the reason for grasping at Yahoo.

    This is nothing new in the business world people. Gates, Rockefeller, Hughes, W's friend Kenneth Lay from Enron all practiced tricks like this for generations. The press about it is merely part of their game. Don't buy into it unless you think fewer independents on the Internet is better. Does anyone believe that MS will make Yahoo! better? Will absorbing the assets of Yahoo! (that IS how MS looks at it) re-invent MS products? I think not on both of those. I don't think Yahoo! is going to be enough to keep Redmond relevant.
