Microsoft will not rush Yahoo merger says exec: FT

2 hours, 48 minutes ago


NEW YORK (Reuters) -
Microsoft Corp would not rush to merge
its technology platform with Yahoo Inc's after a takeover of
the Internet company, according to the Financial Times, citing
an interview with Microsoftchief software architect Ray Ozzie.


Ozzie described technology companies that rush to merge
things together as "reckless," according to the paper.


The paper reported that Ozzie said he was "very optimistic"
Microsoft could achieve the main goals of the $41 billion deal,
provided it concentrated on not disrupting the experience of
Internet users and advertisers, rather than on racing to get
all the financial and other benefits from a consolidation of
the two companies' operations.
