Gosh that seems like such an easy coup to pull off. I wonder why Microsoft hasn't stuffed more of their short tenure employees into management at other companies for discreet takeover purposes.
- yuhong 16y agoI remember the fiasco with Yahoo, where DOJ declared the Google/Yahoo deal anti-competitive. Unfortunately the problem was that they forgot that Yahoo was already not a real competitor anymore. Anyway, thanks to the deal's failure, the takeover by Carl Icann was allowed to proceed. And exactly that kind of coup happened during the takeover.
