Why Yahoo Turned Microsoft Down
quarterbuck writes "The NYTimes has up a great blog post that explains a bit of the backstory behind the Yahoo-Microsoft No-deal. While Jerry Yang did not want to sell the company, it is not likely that he could have said No to Microsoft, and explained it to shareholders, without the help of Google. The article gives reasons behind Google's tossing a lifeline to its biggest competitor, and the 'coop-etition' that has been going on between the two companies, which both emerged out of Stanford University."

.com companies are a terrible investment (unless you like losing money).

It's funny how MS-bashers have created such a finely-honed and specific definition of "monopoly" that it only applies to Microsoft, as if no other company can be evil but them.
