Owning Amazon and IMDB is far more appealing, than dealing with Y!. </p> <p>I also wished MS would give exact benefits as to how they'll take the exisitng Y! platform and make it better. Or else nobody wants to see MS take it. Most people assume the worst, though MS has improved in some internet technologies. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7804" width="1" height="1">re: The Gig's up: MSFT to YHOO: 3 weeks or we come and get youhttp://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2008/04/05/the-gig-s-up-msft-to-yhoo-3-weeks-or-we-come-and-get-you.aspx#7802Sun, 06 Apr 2008 03:11:29 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:7802Mephiles<p>I think Yahoo! want to have some final achievements before they merge.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7802" width="1" height="1">re: The Gig's up: MSFT to YHOO: 3 weeks or we come and get youhttp://www.liveside.net/main/archive/2008/04/05/the-gig-s-up-msft-to-yhoo-3-weeks-or-we-come-and-get-you.aspx#7801Sun, 06 Apr 2008 02:53:30 GMT56c526a3-1f9b-4262-a0cc-2de2ce4c7619:7801oli.burgess<p>I wish Yahoo! would hurry up and accept.
