you’re prob right, tho I kinda wish u weren’t … all 3 companies could use a kick in the ass to compete more effectively.

meg’s had a free ride from shareholders for far too long. accountability at all 3 companies is sorely absent aside from Semel’s ouster about 2 years late.

seriously I’m surprised there’s not more board & shareholder inquiry about the leadership (or lack thereof), or failing that a more aggressive stance on dividends to return cash to investrs thats not being used effectively. if anything I’d want to see more aggressive M&A since the innovation clearly isn’t happening internally. at least Skype & other deals were a respectable attempt to move the needle I guess.

Really, Microsoft only goes after companies that it feels is a threat to one of it’s business/products/etc. So, ebay or Yahoo must be a threat somehow to one of Microsoft’s products/businesses/etc. The question is which one? YPlayer, Ypod, Yphone, Ephone, Epod, Ebox, YBox? That’s just how Microsoft is, business, nothing personal. Gotta respect that.
