They'd just be soon-to-be MS ex-employees...

Then the economic downturn started to suck the life out of Yahoo.

After that Yahoo started to think twice about their "poison pill" refusal to sell to MS, but by that time MS had economic issues just like everyone else.

It's just a case of Wangs pride over the stockholders interests.

Yahoo will go under. They themselves are now the "Poison Pill".; Like this Reply to this comment
