Another quote from the article. Yang and Ballmer had a meeting
recently at Gates' father's offices in Seattle. Yang basically said
no to Microsoft's offer. One of Ballmer's guys is reported to have
said, “They are going to burn the furniture if we go hostile. They are
going to destroy the place.” So Ballmer decided to back off.
Didn't Shuttleworth say that if Ballmer buys Yahoo, he will be
swallowing a hand grenade?
