Comments
Pure propoganda from a revisionist historian. If the “best thing” is for MSFT is to buy Yahoo then why did he spend $70m on advisors to keep FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS from the stockholder; why then did he adopt such a draconian posion pill in the form of a severance package?; why then did he fight Carl Icahn publicly?; why then didn’t he accept the offer that was on the table?; why then did he engage a deal with Google that never had a chance of clearing DoJ scrutiny?; This is classic Yang, blame everyone but himself and put the shareholders in the back of the line.
