What's Yahoo Worth to Microsoft Without Alibaba?

What makes the most sense to me, Larry, even though I am not convinced that it the best move for this country, is for a group of Japanese, Chinese, German, and/or Indian technology and content companies to come in and take over Yahoo. They could actually pay the folks in Sunnyvale a premium, and probably come out ahead in the long run. More important, perhaps, is that they could stop the spread of "Microsoftism" in their parts of the world.

These are no longer pure American "deals". Folks in Asia and Europe are not interested in this Internet becoming a two man race between Microsoft and Google. It's as simple as that. Why people cannot see this is beyond me.

Hope all is well for you with changes out there at CNET.
