Re: What would happen if MSFT bought Yahoo (Discussion)

Curious what anyone can predict will happen with Yahoo after a merger. Yahoo has a lot of open source running throughout the company especially their engineers.

I could imagine the howls of frustration and quickly scribbled resignation letters if MSFT bought them and then started forcing the engineers to use MS products.
As someone who worked for a company that was recently purchased by Microsoft, I can tell you it doesn't work how you think it works.
