Interesting move especially in the context of a recent Garner report predicting bad times for Microsoft (http://www.news.com/8301-13860_3-9862322-56.html?tag=nefd.to...). Obviously, this acquisition doesn't help Microsoft improve Vista or Office, Microsoft's cash machines. Also, does this offer imply Microsoft is less confident about their Live initiative? Will Ray Ozzie be replaced by Jerry Yang?


Pretty sure if it's Ozzie vs. Yang, Yang is out in a heartbeat.

And I think this buy is more about strengthening Microsoft's online presence, not their desktop apps.
