Gates: Microsoft Ain't Budging on Yahoo Bid

Thursday, February 21, 2008

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates -- a guy who's supposed to be focusing on philanthrophy and prepping for retirement -- found time to spout off on Microsoft's bid for Yahoo in a phone interview yesterday about free software for students or some such nonsense.
"We sent them a letter and said we think that's a fair offer. There's nothing that's gone on other than us stating that we think it's a fair offer. They should take a hard look at it," Gates reportedly said.
The appropriate answer to the question should have been: "We have no further comment." But Gates' answer suggests he's sending a message to Yahoo and to shareholders.
We have to believe that Microsoft has squandered what little goodwill it had in Silicon Valley with its hardball negotiating tactics. Assuming Microsoft finally wins Yahoo, what's going to be left of the company other than a bunch of embittered engineers who are looking for jobs at Facebook or Google?
