I never had any opinion about this, but i was recently seeing the craze. Mark any blog or article, with tags like yahoo , google and microsoft ! You will see volume increase ! Well thats why i thought why not blog on this topic !
Here are my view points
1. Yahoo has done a lot good in the past , it needs time to recover and i would say shame on all the shareholders who are showing their greed and trying to break apart a company that has built its own culture in its own way !
2. What if google starts to fall, will people ask it to be merged with microsoft ?
3. What happened to people who used to consider microsoft evil ? Are they alive ? or evilness has become relative ... any company that grows big becomes evil ?
4. Software profits are paltry and its people who make a company popular, and it takes a lot of hard work to build , ship, market and reap benefits from a product. Why dont people look at oil companies if they want profits ?
5. My viewpoint, Live is crap, Vista is Crap, There are a lots of things that are visibly wrong with Live, i would say the biggest being the fact that i dont feel being on live for more than 2 mins, dont know if its the interface or what, but the huge AD that occupies 1/5th of the screen troubles me.
In short
1. MS should innovate and leave Yahoo alone, they have a huge difference in culture and technology and its a big company, integeration challeges will kill you.
2. Yahoo, shareholders, focus on yahoo to do better and not means of squeezing the max out of it .. who knows 2 years down the line you might be richer than what you are ... If you are impatient, please sell your stocks, and shut up.
3. All i can say is now I just pity yahoo's condition, and seeing people play with yang's baby ... well if I was in Yang's position, i dont think i would bear this ... .
ps : see i cleverly added interview in my keywords, since that would lead to search engines being bombed !
