Ways to save Yahoo?

[Filliam H. Muffman]

I knew some of the people that were involved in the Hotmail startup. Many of them became millionaires and eventually either quit in disgust (forcing them to convert it to IIS instead of UNIX resulted in two almost complete outages) or were let go. Microsoft came very close to killing it off when they sold the user database to spammers.

Bungie/Halo is the ONLY example I can think of where a company got bought out by Microsoft and stayed viable, and it started out as Mac developer.
