Microsoft paid $6.2 billion in cash for aQuantitive. That asset is now worthless.
That is very real red ink, even though the actual accounting for it is occurring years later. It is a massive squandering of assets.
- raverbashing 14y agoCan we say "congrats MS"!? A mix of desperation, and having no idea of what you're doing. Hats off for Steve Ballmer Goog payed 2B for DoubleClick right? Funny thing is that "everybody knew" who DoubleClick was, but I'd say it was hard to find someone to have hear about aQ before the acQuisition.
- Of_Prometheus 14y agoWhat a bitter comment. The fact that you believe someone with over two decades' worth of experience has no idea what he's doing illustrates just how seriously one should be taking your opinion.
