I never thought Microsoft had any intention of buying Yahoo, but that they only wanted to sabotage it. The reason Microsoft wanted to sabotage Yahoo is that Yahoo for months or may be longer allowed citizens of the US and really any country to comment on news articles and the comments could not be controlled by the Democratic party which Bill Gates belongs too, and financially supports. It was nothing but an effort to control, stifle, and annihilate political speech that did not pump up the democrats. Microsoft was never even in the running when it comes to competing with Yahoo or Google for satisfied customers and providing First Amendment liberties. Microsoft has tried to control even what their paying customers do with the software that they buy from Microsoft. Could you imagine a book store telling you after you bought a book, read it and loaned it to someone to read as a gift that they would follow you home, lock your library, remove all your books and then try to blacklist you from ever buying a book? YET that is precisely what the phony "microsoft advantage progam is" and nothing else, but an effort to prevent and control how and when and if you use the Microsoft software you bought in any way. Microsoft should have been shut down by the Federal Antitrust dept instead of making deals with them to get money ! signed gloria poole, RN and artist,
