We don't need you
Ballmer
Yahoo! chief executive Carol Bartz claims that the Web
pioneer did not need to make a deal with the software giant
Microsoft.
Analysts and people in the know have been wondering when Bartz and
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer would announce a deal to see off rivals
Google. A Microsoft buyout failed but the pair said that they were
talking about a possible deal.
However Bartz said that Yahoo! didn't have
to do anything with Microsoft about anything. She siad the outfit had a
bright future, probably cleaner and simpler future without thinking there's
any Microsoft connection.
She added that Yahoo would be better off if it
never heard the word Microsoft. Bartz's comments came just days after
Microsoft launched a new search engine, Bing, in a bid to carve out a larger
share of the search market.
