Re: Details on the 10 yr Microsoft - Yahoo serach/ad deal Actually Google is being quite honest. If you understood the psychology of Brin and Page, as well as Schmidt you'd realize they were completely sincere when they tried to partner up with Yahoo. At the time Microsoft was trying to buy Yahoo and Google was the one who prevented that deal from happening. They actually honest-to-goodness prefer the market have more competitors, not less, because they have confidence in the superiority of their products and because they have the mindset and ethics of the "little guy".
Microsoft combining with Yahoo is stupid. Combining 2 inferior technologies does not suddenly make a better one. All this does is consolidate the market even further and increase Yahoo's already handsome profit margins. |
