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?

Although Redmond's foray into retail bears a big resemblance to Apple's approach, Microsoft has added some distinctive features to draw casual PC buyers and techies alike.
Verizon and Motorola are spending big bucks--$100 million--on marketing the new smartphone, and it looks like it will pay off with 1 million devices sold by year's end.

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.
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.
