I think that Microsoft can provide a bigger severance package is a big attraction there.

If not... Then you just sever @ Microsoft... Goto Google or build a cool app that Google will buyout. Get acquired take the nice premium on the company you sold then retire....
I'd rather...

...work for AOL, given the alternatives. Least Yahoo'ers would not
have to adopt windows, since AOL is very unix centric. Working for
M$ is like working for satan.

Is it hot in here?

MSFT Deal: Like Being Forced to Mate With the Creature from Alien !

AOL's staff is dispirited? Great. Beats working for a staff that is made up of psychotic, incompetent face-biting lunatics like MSFT.

AOL beat Yahoo - Financial site

AOL surpassed Yahoo as the number 1 site with their Money and Finance pages. So no need for boosting your ego at AOL's expense.

Yahoo/microsoft
by ruby2day April 12, 2008 11:37 AM PDT
I would like it better if Microsoft made the successful bid: hopefully it would stay the same,as far for the way yahoo has it set up; any changes hopefully would be easier for the operator.aol has flooded the market so much that you can only get on the site for a little while then your knocked off. Plus i believe aol is really not operator friendly, at least the last time i was on it..
