| Kerotan said: I see they offered close to $50 BILLION a few years ago to buy yahoo. But their offer was turned down. Yahoo was recently sold for almost $5 BILLION.
So I ask, if Microsoft bought them for $50BN would yahoo's value have dramatically dropped and it would have been a terrible deal, or would Microsoft have kept yahoo as a top player in the game?
Did Microsoft unintentionally dodge a bullet? |
It's not so much Microsoft dodged a bullet, the tech world and its users dodged a bullet. Let's put it like this: Hotmail was up and coming. Microsoft bought out Hotmail. Where's Hotmail now? See my point, and I think Yahoo saw that as well.
