Carol Bartz’s Gut Doesn’t Want To Sell Yahoo Search to Microsoft
Ms. Bartz said in a company-wide Yahoo meeting Wednesday that she plans to spend a lot of time investigating whether to sell Yahoo’s search business but that her “gut” was not to do that, according to people familiar with the meeting. - WSJ
New Yahoo CEO, Ms. Bartz does not feel right about selling Yahoo search business to Microsoft and she is 100% right. What will Yahoo be without the search business? An email and content platform, like AOL, which is struggling and is dependant on Google for revenue.
The sale only makes sense if Microsoft buys all of Yahoo. This way Microsoft money arm can be used to ante all Yahoo products and services. I personally think Bartz / Yahoo board will be very foolish to sell Yahoo search business alone.
