That is all true, but then the smell at Microsoft is at least 9 years old and getting smellier. They need to figure a way to get Bill G. back. I believe that M$ figured out that if the deal went through, all the significant employees at Yahoo would flee to Google or start a competitor. M$ has many of the world's best programmers. How many of them have you heard of in the past 9 years? They are buried under the incredible weight of lawyers and sales types. Yahoo has a very talented group like Google. How many of them would want to work under the great monkey? M$ is a pig sinking in a pool of their own excrement.

My perspective is that both sides of this deal are making emotional decisions that are not in the best interest of the stockholders. All of them are crazy. Only bad things happen when you let emotion drive a business decision. There are losers all around this non-deal from Microsoft to Yahoo to consumers, even without the deal getting done. People have lost money, some great developers have jumped ship, jobs have been threatened, stockholders are ticked, stories are made up, some truth has been told, and tempers are flaring. Bad smells all around.
