"By all accounts Yahoo's Jerry Yang is a nice guy. But he is beginning to bug me."
Posted by Gordon Smith
That's Paul Kedrosky, and he is incensed by this letter from Jerry Yang to Steve Ballmer.
Purportedly a calm and rational letter laying out why Yahoo continues to reject Microsoft's acquisition-related entreaties, it is mischievous and irritating. The note is replete with cute stuff and homespun dealmaking ditziness, all running over top of that Yang-ian "i love lower-case" faux familiarity.
...
The sooner Yang stops trying to be a kinder, gentler CEO, and just gets on with getting this deal figured out ... the better.
Amen to that.
