Steve Balmer’s Moby Dick Is teh Google, his spear is Yahoo! and Microsoft employees may head for the lifeboats if Steve puts all his assets towards beating Google, methinks

Here comes more psychobabble. Of course, I could be wrong.

But, Herman Melville may have been right.

Steve Balmer should be focusing on improving Vista and bringing Microsoft into the new age of network computing and mobile productivity, but he’s still pissed.

He’s still pissed that Google stole so many Microsoft rockstars and gurus that he only wants to hunt down Google even if the ship goes down.

What are you talking? Yes, what am I talking about?

Microsoft will enter proxy battle for shareholders’ hearts at Yahoo! … This will take money from an already contracted market capitalization.

So, the total revenue of last year, minus the amount of people will not buy Microsoft Vista this year, minus all the people who will not buy Microsoft Office this year, minus the mount of people who will not buy a Dell or a Gateway times some fudge factor means….

… Microsoft might be putting all the chips in to get Yahoo! :-) oh, dear. that socks, so…

If this bid fails, Microsoft will not have enough capital or clout to block foreign acquisitions of tech companies. (well, Microsoft has infinite money. … haha, no it doesn’t. if you hypothecate real estate that is equal to $0.00, you need to pump up the stock and reduce costs — fire them, fire them all — to survive until the next quarter)

So, you see… Steve must capture his whale. Poor guy. :(
