Yahoo Almost Gets It Right

Facts my friends are important. First of all I hold long MSFT, no interest in Yahoo or Google at all market-wise. Second, content is everything. When I do search and find a site with worthwhile information I put it in favorites. As I accumulate target sites I find that less and less time is spent searching (and enduring the ads). However, Yahoo content has become less and less reliable. I tried to access their site 47 times on one day last week and found the site to be down more than 25 times. The reason I kept track is because of the time I wasted the day before. I now have iGoogle up and running and won't have to even go to Yahoo for content that I can't egt to anyway. Can't wait to cash out of MSFT either.

What Does Microsoft's Bizarre Leadership Claim Really Mean?

A second to comment by Tom B. A leader who allows a product like Vista to get in the hands of even a beta test group of consumers should be fired immediately. The quality of Vista is incomprehensible. They probably don't have a quality assurance manager - if they do the position should be vacant. I am waiting for the opportunity to unload my shares, but Ballmer has no interest in his investors or customers, so I may have to hold till they become an inheritance for my 2 year old grandson (at age 25). Trying to buy a bigger loser in Yahoo is an even dumber move. Notice how slow and unavailable Yahoo has been lately. Must be distracted workers, unmanaged. Yahoo probably doesn't have a quality assurance manager either, if so, hopefully it has become vacant.
40+ years in systems development and operations management focused on software quality gives me the responsibility to express my opinion, if not the right.
