Obviously this is Microsoft's desperate bid to out maneuver Google. I don't think Google has anything to worry about.
Lets look at the latest marketing campaign for Windows 2008. It is called Heroes Happen Here (HHH?).
They have released a comic strip to go along with it. Here is one of the latest comics:
HUH? What it is this? They must have a giant vat of cool aid laced with happy juice over in Redmond. How could they possibly think that this will help promote Windows 2008?
I don't even 'get' the cartoon. Call me stupid.
So back to Yahoo. What could MS possibly add to Yahoo? Zip. They will systematically make it disappear. In 3 years it will look like live.com
Google will still be #1. All the while Apple will still be eating away at their declining desktop market share.
Meanwhile we need to run our businesses on the software that they build. It gives me the shakes just thinking about it.
