Re: Ballmer: Microsoft could walk away from Yahoo deal

Not sure if this is petty of me, but I think I'd have to reconsider my beloved Yahoo Startup Page if Microsoft took it over. I'm not keen on what Yahoo is doing with their beta page and I can only imagine the design horrors in store should Balmer's team get hold of it.

Re: Ballmer: Microsoft could walk away from Yahoo deal

Great news! Yes, Mr. Ballmer, please do walk away from Yahoo. I've been using Yahoo Mail for over seven years; it may not be perfect (and I'm staying with the classic version, which I find much preferable to the "improved" version), but it serves my purposes fine and it'd be an annoyance to have to find another service.

And the masses of Zimbra uses shout out in unison:
Please, please, please walk away!

Today Google has the lead, there’s no doubt about it and I wanna make sure that they have plenty of competition, Ballmer said.

So buying Yahoo creates more competition, how? Talk about Double Speak...

Why do not compare iPhone with Windows 9 in place of Android?
The last two are not yet delivered!
Maybe you can "compare" the SDK, maybe the APIs... those are "real"... Android phones? Wait to see...

WHY!!!!!...

and ruin a perfect track record of DUMB BUSINESS DECISIONS! If those stupid idiots at MS didn't have all that cash from past decades of monopoly, they couldn't continue these maniacisms.
