Mathew's comments: I think Microsoft is bluffing

    I think Microsoft'll try again later... and I think Yahoo will wake up, when it's shares value became to fall

    I'd say quite a bit has changed. A lot of Yahoo's top talent as left. The morale in the company has got to be ridiculously low, and those who haven't left yet are certainly looking for greener pastures. Yahoo still has their marketshare and position in the same segments as before, but there's no doubt in my mind that the company inside is a vastly different place now than it was just a few months ago.

    All the more reason for them to jump at another Microsoft offer --
    even if it's lower.

    After spending a bunch of time at Microsoft in the past few days I seriously doubt they'll make another offer at any price.

    But why, Robert? What has changed to make it look like a bad idea now
    -- at a cheaper price -- when it looked like such a good idea at $33 a
    share? Either it was a dumb idea then and Microsoft has only just
    realized it now (which is possible) or it's still a good idea and they
    are being stubborn. Or they're bluffing.

    Microsoft are finished with Yahoo. Good thing to. I say both companies need to now focus on there own stuff now.

    I agree with omarismail, YAHOO still has it's market share. Perhaps what Carl Icahn needs to do is take control and shed some of the bloat that YAHOO has taken on over the years.

    On another unrelated note, Matthew, I've tagged you in a meme on my blog.

    After this results... I think Microsoft will be happy to try to negociate again... Yahoo is cheaper now... and why not?
