It was as is known, before Jerry Yang took off his position as CEO of Yahoo, Microsoft is keen to buy Yahoo, who was then rakasasa the software is already offering a price of USD44 billion.
"Sometimes you get lucky," he said with a smile on the Web 2.0 conference, as reported by PC World, Wednesday (10/19/2011).
Indeed, Ballmer seems to be careful and not offend Yahoo directly, but Ballmer made his comments in context. He said that all CEOs would feel grateful for not making large acquisitions in the months before the global financial collapse that began in the second half of 2008.
"Who would have thought with the collapse of the global economy which impact on Lehman Brothers," he said.
And indeed, since 2008 Yahoo still moving a profit. Yahoo's new financial picture is not very positive, although they still earn greater profits than expected in terms of shares.
