More and more analysts are suggesting that a separate corporation buy Yahoo, and as Yahoo’s stock continues to sink, Microsoft is one of the most-mentioned names. But for the moment, Microsoft seems content to go after employees, rather than the company itself.
Yahoo Stepping Lightly Against Google, Microsoft
As one of the biggest brands on the Internet, Yahoo’s competitors envy the traffic Yahoo receives. On Wall Street, analysts only see gridlock.
Microsoft: Vista (Comparatively) Invulnerable
Imagine that a company built a car out of foam. Not a working car, of course – just a full-scale model. And then that company started trumpeting stuff about having no safety-related recalls. Well, Microsoft is proud to announce that Vista has fewer security vulnerabilities than its competitors.
