Microsoft when no should mean yes

I read this with interest today: http://www.247wallst.com/2008/11/microsoft-msft.html

Its says that Steve Ballmer is defiant on its “no” to Yahoo!. Its an interesting article quoting Reuters but I also think its a real shame.

Terry Semel was very good for Yahoo! Jerry Yang has failed and has been arrogant and it is a shame as oneSearch rocks for mobile. It would be great in Microsoft hands.

With FAST and with Yahoo! Microsoft would have rocked where it failed badly with its purchase of Motion Bridge. Perhaps a deal can be made for only the mobile side of the business.
