Combining two weak performers rarely produces a strong performer.
May 7, 2007
Once again, Microsoft has played the role of the toasted chicken by fumbling away the deal that would lead Microsoft to take over Yahoo. Not like it matters anyway because it has always been said “Combining two weak performers rarely produces a strong performer”. Google will not have to break a sweat.
Let’s look at the numbers. In terms of the search market share, a combined percentage between MSN and Yahoo would equal roughly 38% with a continuing negative trend compared to a rising 48% for Google according to comScore. This deal would not make it much easier to compete with the agility and ingenuity of Google. At least in the short term, I don’t believe MSN Yahoo would affect Google in a negative way!
Then, Bill Gates will come out with some sort of catch to make you pay rediculous amounts of money, for his great-great-grand daughters retirement fund. Not Happening!
