In a no holds barred assessment of Microsoft buying Yahoo!, Eric Schmidt the CEO of Google thinks the purchase could hurt the Internet. In a remark made to reporters he stated:
“We would be concerned by any kind of acquisition of Yahoo by Microsoft,” Chief Executive Eric Schmidt told reporters.
“We would hope that anything they did would be consistent with the openness of the Internet, but I doubt it would be.”
Schmidt pointed to Microsoft’s past history and “the things that it has done that have been so difficult for everyone,” but he did not elaborate.
This does make one wonder just what the repercussions would be if Microsoft took over Yahoo! Or is Schmidt just talking smack to upset the folks at Microsoft? We are all aware that Microsoft came down heavy on the Google - DoubleClick deal. This could be just Google trying to get back.
What do you think?
