Microsoft Pri0

Dear readers: You've likely noticed that coverage on Tech Tracks in the past five months has emphasized Microsoft. Now, we're formalizing the Microsoft focus with a new name: Microsoft Pri0. That's Microspeak for top priority, and that's the news and observations you'll find here from Seattle Times technology reporter Benjamin J. Romano, who has been covering the company for more than two years. Thanks for reading.

No one asks CFO Liddell about Yahoo bid, so he offers two cents

Posted by Benjamin J. Romano

CNET is covering the Morgan Stanley event where Microsoft CFO Chris Liddell was speaking this morning. And, according to this report, no one -- none of the analysts or any of the audience during a Q&A session -- asked about Yahoo.

CNET's Dawn Kawamoto wrote what I'm thinking:

"Hello ... Microsoft is looking to lay down mega, mega, and, I say, MEGA bucks for Yahoo and no one at the investor/technology conference asked a single question about its bid.

"That didn't stop Liddell from addressing the proverbial elephant in the room.

"Said Liddell: 'No one asked me about Yahoo, which is interesting. It's a small company we are looking to acquire, but the company has not yet formally responded to our offer.... We will continue to look at our options and that is something I am incredibly systematic about.'"

Bill Gates: His Legacy, His Future

Bill Gates

Bill Gates, who last week ended his full-time involvement with Microsoft, was often right. He made a career, a company and an industry by looking over the horizon.
