Ballmer says Yahoo buy still makes sense
The Microsoft Blog —
At just around noon today on the East Coast, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at a conference that buying Yahoo still would make sense.

Technologizer —
... . Given that the company hasn’t released any beta versions of Windows 7 yet, that would leave a small window (pun unavodiable) for the company to test the OS widely, receive feedback, fix problems, and get the product out the door. Evidence is starting to suggest that Windows 7 may not be a radically different operating system from Windows Vista in terms of features, functionality, and overall goals. Yes, Steve Ballmer maintains that it’s a “major” release of Windows, but he’s also describing it as “Vista, only a lot better.” Microsoft is keeping its hype machine under ...
