smart move for yahoo sooner or later bing would overtake it, given its superior quality and msft's deep pockets. by selling new, bartz gets to bargain while ysearch is still worth something. two years from now after bing had eclipsed ysearch organically, she would have had little to bargain with search was bound to become a two-horse race...the capital needed to compete is enormous, and it has been clear that yahoo won't be able to go the distance expect 3k layoffs or more...besides the payouts from msft, the headcount reduction will be a major gain on the balance sheet for bartz bartz will have to actually stop selling off and closing bits of yahoo and actually try growing something. that challenge still awaits her
