Pretty much I would agree. MS does not have a clue what to do in the space and as Yahoo does not either, the two together would have likely been a very expensive calamity. But it doesn't change the fact that Jerry Yang really screwed his shareholders out of a lot of money. Business cases will be written in the future about exactly how and how badly he screwed the pooch on this deal.
