Comments on: Icahn battles for Yahoo's gold

The billionaire files his proxy statement, urging shareholders to send in the gold-colored ballot and vote for his slate of directors. Yahoo's current board is pushing shareholders to send in their white ballots.

Icahn is only out to make a quick buck - and damn the long-term future of Yahoo. On the bright side, his blind greed will ensure that MSFT spends even more time and treasure in a futile attempt to catch up with Google, while their OS and Office divisions continue sliding into even further neglect. Steve Jobs, Red Hat, Canonical, and Sun (OpenOffice) couldn't have asked for a better agent to help in speeding along the decline of Microsoft. While it would suck to see Yahoo go under like that, in the long-term I believe it'll be for the best. Let Icahn chase his dollars, and let Ballmer chase his futile dreams of Googlehood. Meanwhile, Windows and Office will continue their merry weakening. Eventually, Ballmer may wake up and realize that he has failed in capturing Google's torrent of inbound money, but I suspect that by the time he does, it may be too late to save Windows.

Carl Ichan should do socially responsible investment.,Corporate Governance system more important than asset value for the best long term interest Yahoo stakeholders.

Yahoo stakeholfers should do battle to illegal hostile take over and also his "ill will"
Yahoo board has absolutely discreation power in deciding Corporate Strategy for the best long term interest to its stakeholders and society at large.

Yahoo will more valuable than before after reshape and envigorate its managemen structure and services.

Yahoo's shareholder feel free to stay or leave Yahoo..

Carl Icahn has a reverse Midas touch, see his TWA deal. Stay away from his ideas as far as you can.
