Ballmer: "Sometimes we have to decide what is better - to build or to buy."
Me: "I've seen your products. It's better to buy."

Yep, no doubt. Hotmail was a good buy for them. Yahoo will be too. I hope they do buy them. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Microsoft will end up like K-Mart. They will buy and buy and buy companies up and will so stretch themselves to the limit, they will eventually bust up. K-Mart bought Home Depot, Borders et.al. They ended up in chapter 9, until they sold them all off (and messed up good things in the process). Go Microsoft....

Personally I hope they don't buy Yahoo. I've had the same Yahoo email account for years and I'd hate to have to find another service. If Microslop does buy them, I'd probably jump to Gmail.
