naw, they are the 1600lb gorrilla now. No matter how incompetent they are, they have enough momentum and cash to just smash thru obstacles (either buy or try to fail other startups).
Reminds me of myself and my brother playing monopoly as kids. He suggested he start with all the property, and I start with all the money.

I was young... 6 maybe, so I thought wow yeah heh I'll take all the money.

Sure, MS have cash from their dying desktop, but they still can't build web apps, or compete with google online. I'd say yahoo are almost as bad.

I remember being pretty damn pleased with myself when you agreed to that ;-)
