Comments on: Microsoft Withdraws Its Bid for Yahoo http://weblog.sinteur.com/2008/05/microsoft-withdraws-its-bid-for-yahoo/ the Daily Irrelevant Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:13:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Roland Hesz http://weblog.sinteur.com/2008/05/microsoft-withdraws-its-bid-for-yahoo/#comment-25268 Roland Hesz Sun, 04 May 2008 08:37:42 +0000 http://weblog.sinteur.com/?p=23310#comment-25268 Reading the different blog posts and such about this offer since the start, it gave a good number of people who left were fed up with the Yahoo! management and the way this whole business was handled did not inspire certainty and belief in the future. And a lot of better managed start ups and companies got a fresh injection of talent. I don't think it was the goal of Microsoft. To free up talent from the a slowly dying company, and send them to places where they actually can do some harm to Microsoft business. But if it was their goal, then thank you MS :) Reading the different blog posts and such about this offer since the start, it gave a good number of people who left were fed up with the Yahoo! management and the way this whole business was handled did not inspire certainty and belief in the future.
