Microsoft Yahoo! Makes Perfect Sense
The proposed merger of Microsoft and Yahoo! makes perfect business sense, to me, but what do I know?
I like the idea of the combination of teams of hard-working, extremely intelligent people. I like the idea of instantly conjuring up major competition to Google. Not that I dislike Google… I believe that competition drives people into new and far better innovations.
Mergers like this ought to make dreams of a new century of technology truly come true!
I consider that Google is already competition for the likes of AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, to name a few. Competition for the “bad guys!” Google has major plans for the future for the benefit of its users (consumers like us, you and I). Merge Microsoft and Yahoo!, push Google a little more, get involved in the “chase” with Google, and we’ll see things we’ve only dreamed of. Bill Gates, from what I’ve seen, is a humanitarian. Sergey and Larry, from what I’ve seen, have legitimate concerns for the welfare of human beings. Imagine the power of these two major players telling the administration “No, we won’t give you that information for your illegal spying.” Imagine the power of these two providing inexpensive mobile communications equipment with open access!
What could hold this back? Well, for one, an Ed Whitacre-like attitude, which I see Terry Semel exhibit. [Hat tip to Danny Sullivan]. But Terry no longer ought to have a say in this, right? Plus, the new chairman, Roy Bostock, sounds perfect - “Roy is an outstanding executive who has decades of experience in the advertising industry - an area that is more important than ever to Yahoo’s business and our long-term success” according to Jerry Yang.
And if this new conglomerate can bring a level of consideration of its people approaching that of Google, this ought to make perfect sense and move forward for the benefit of everyone!
