Microhoo!

Waking up this morning to hear the big news today of Microsoft bidding to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion was a bit of a surprise for me. We all know Yahoo has been suffering behind the leading search engine powerhouse Google and continuing to fall even more behind. Microsoft has tried this once before with Yahoo declining and saying they will change, but have they done enough change to stay as Yahoo? Or will we see a new Microhoo!

Personally, I hope they come to me after the merger and ask if they can use the new name of Microhoo! What do you think?

Genuis! Although there is a new trend happing where the larger companies are eating the competition, I heard yahoo isn’t in a hurry to sign on the dotted line just yet.

The worst thing that could ever happen to Yahoo is to let Microsoft buy them! As I pointed out in a post that I did today on my own little blog, the problem with Microsoft is it’s leadership. It is old, out of touch and has this disgusting , “it’s good enough” mentality that runs down everything they attempt to do! Vista sucks and I blame the leadership which has created a corporate culture that stifles innovation and great products.

With a vast pool of very intelligent employees and oodles of cash and other resources, Microsoft should be the leader, but instead, it scrambles to try and catch up to Apple and Google which both puts Microsoft to shame. These companies have great leadership and the results are there for everyone to see. Microsoft’s leadership has got to go!

PS. Just out of curiosity, what type of aircraft do you pilot? My friend, from Katmandu, is a pilot and I sort of developed an interest in various aircraft. Nice site, by the way. :O)
