All the more reasons why Microsoft...

by Commander_Spock February 7, 2008 7:22 AM PST

... should go after Yahoo! This article in part states: "Among an estimated 6 million U.S. small businesses, about 75 percent have some form of Web presence, according to AMI". Now, (Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Symphony, Lotus Notes... running on OS/2 aside from the Microsoft's Office products lineup) Just how much does "Yahoo, the largest U.S. provider of Web hosting services for small businesses online, cut it for real-world, mission-critical usage"? Go get em (clobber them) - Achilles. M :-$ :-) !
