]]> <![CDATA[Microsoft CFO: Maybe we'll shop elsewhere]]> I would hope msft has at least two other options for a major acquisition or a series of medium acquisitions.

YHOO lost out bigtime to Google. Before this acquisition talk YHOO was on more of a path to irrelevance then recognizing its upside potential. Yang, et. al. are out of ideas. Yang had his last chance with the recent earnings/guidance. He is out of ammunition. He is acting the child when he needs to be an adult. And it looks like YHOO management has no shortage of babies. Clash of cultures?
Maybe these yahoo managers don't want to be accountable for the first time in their lives.

]]> <![CDATA[Microsoft CFO: Maybe we'll shop elsewhere]]> I'm sure there are some Yahoos who want to be bought by Microsoft; just none of the ones I know.

Microsoft walking away would be fine - Yahoo has a lot more upside potential than Microsoft, despite the market's recent disregard for it.

You think Yahoo is slow - how late was Vista? How weak is their current web offering? How pinned are they to closed-software models that tend to lose to open source?

Any shareholder who thinks this is a good idea should just sell their shares and buy Microsoft shares.

Open Letter to Valleywag:

Please release me from my doldrums. Valleywag and the other industry blogs have been very boring as of late. Please do something to spice things up a bit.
