If billionaire Carl Ichan has his way, the new board of Yahoo would be put together expressly to sell Yahoo to Microsoft at a price that is both good for the shareholders and fair to Microsoft. For all that Microsoft has said it doesn't want Yahoo anymore, this is a circumstance that would work. Now that every armchair analyst, blogger and Wall Street pro has analyzed this deal from every angle, most would agree that if Yahoo came under Microsoft's wing, this would be good for both companies, and perhaps good for Internet advertising as a whole, giving Google some genuine competition. Is it good for Yahoo employees? Probably a better option than watching the company's leadership drive the company out of business while reaching for pie-in-the-sky revenue growth.
