- fusiongyro 10y agoIIRC that was many years prior, like before Bing.
- reducesuffering 10y ago4 years prior to Mayer becoming CEO.
- xapata 10y agoTurning down that deal was what got Yang booted. He hates Microsoft for historical reasons (as did we all) and refused to take what was an obviously great deal. Afterwards, Microsoft decided to compete and the offer was never available again.
