Comments on: It's a done deal: Icahn on Yahoo board

Icahn gets his agreed-upon Yahoo board seat and a role picking his two allies. Will that discussion be as civil as Icahn and Yahoo's recent words for each other?

Mr Racist,

Icahn can't get anything done, he will be sent to the corner to play while the adults work on important matters.

MS blew it with Yahoo. It would have been worse for MS had Ballmer succeeded in his ill thought out plans to compete in the future he can't grasp buy buying a few buildings and some Linux code.

The Decider...AKA the Racist...fails to see that Yang is the equivalent of the Exxon-Valdez captain that has run Yahoo aground. Like I said before , Yang`s poor vision was to blame. I-CAN will bring fresh ideas to the table...and it doesn`t hurt that he is in Microsoft`s pocket. LOL

Fresh ideas?

He is a corporate raider that destroys for personal gain and has no clue about tech matters. He makes Ballmer look like a genius.

Icahn has no real power and with the majority of the board against him won't be able to pull any sleazy tricks. Next year he will likely be pushed out and Yahoo will continue.

If you think that it is a good idea for MS to go into debt for a company it doesn't understand, whose employees will bail, leaving MS with empty building and tons of Linux code, then we can only presume one of two things: You are ballmer, you are just carrying MS's water for a small paycheck.
