Did Microsoft dodge a bullet?

they weren't buying Yahoo for it's search engine, they were buying it for this:

And they probably did dodge a bullet. Yahoo has been going down since they removed their auctions section.

That's a nice list of crap. 😛

Yeah, I never said it was good stuff (flickr might be the biggest one). But then remember, MS bought Mojang for $2.5billion... which at the time was a company that was making about $90mil a year profit. It will take them over 20 years to get that back from the company if they stay around that sum. So not really sure how MS value things.
