Yahoo back on the menu for Microsoft?
Filed in archive Market Perturbations by Scott Wilson on October 16, 2008

Actually the company denies that it is interested in Yahoo again, even as it works to derail the Yahoo/Google partnership. But Ben Romano at the Seattle Times has a fairly convincing take on why Ballmer's speculation at ITXpo, running contrary to the company's stated position, are nonetheless a better picture of the ultimate goals of the business. If Ballmer is interested, Romano argues, then Microsoft is interested, or his effectiveness as CEO with genuine leadership and vision are called into question. So, the denials can be seen more tactically than otherwise.
Of course, if that is the case, then I have to put my pet conspiracy theory away again.
