Just because you think MS products suck
Farhad,
I'm not going to argue that you don't have a good understanding of technological products. And I'm not going to argue with you about whether or not MS has produced good products, or rather gained dominance from various other means, ie market dominance.
BUT do you think that MSoft execs don't understand the business? There are multiple reasons why they might want Yahoo. To get their technology. Redirect their highly hit web sites to MS content. Skilled employees; even if a hostile takeover causes many director level employees to leave they'd still keep a ton of highly educated employees that wont bother leaving. And I'm sure there's lots of other reasons why MS would want to do this.
Now we know you hate M$oft and ... that's OK. But don't think that MS are business fools, and don't think that Google isn't scared about any change in the environment they currently dominate.
