Wimpy: Why is Yahoo so afraid of Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| This has everything to do with business and nothing at all to do with
| technology. Wearing my business reporter's fedora, then, I'll point you back
| a week or so to Microsoft's most recent earnings announcement, which
| disappointed Wall Street. This is significant because it is hard to find a
| Wall Street analyst who remembers the last time Microsoft's earnings were
| disappointing. It simply doesn't happen. That's because Microsoft has a
| myriad of tools for adjusting the numbers to look just right.

| Are Microsoft and Google really locked into a zero-sum game, where every gain
| in Google’s search business translates into an automatic kick-in-the-pants
| for Microsoft?

A reminder of why Microsoft wanted Yahoo

| Henry Blodget at Silicon Alley Insider has posted Tuesday a good look at how
| Microsoft's Windows and Google's search will stack up by 2009. The results
| aren't necessarily surprising, but they're certainly interesting to see in
| print: By this time next year, Blodget predicts, Google search will pass
| Windows in total revenue.
