microsoft wants to buy Yahoo! for $44.6 billion
I was shell shocked when the news came in on CNN that Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo! for $44.6 billion and i was like thats nothing new especially when it comes to internet companies. Its been ever since competition buying out competition but this is special because this is the BIG DEAL.
If this deal goes through then i wonder what will happen to Yahoo! open source commitment and that has really got me worried because I am right now working on a major project that makes use of the Yahoo user interface library which thankfully is open source as well as we are planning to use several of Yahoo!’s API.
So, hopefully even if this deal goes through i dont think yahoo should compromise on its principles as well as its commitment to open source software.
So, here is me, hoping the best for both the companies as well as more importantly to technology!
Cheers!
