Cool conspiracy theory
This comment about Google's bid for DoubleClick on Paul Kedrosky's blog got me thinking:
"I have a hard time with the concept of Microsoft not playing hardball -- they used to be so good at it. I wonder if they deliberately baited Google with Doubleclick so they could start to fan the flames of anti-trust. The sole purpose of doing so would be to make it harder for Google to beat MS on a Yahoo purchase down the road..."
It's pure fantasy, but if it were true, it's a brilliant strategy. Not only would this slow down Google, but they'd be left stymied after failing to acquire Yahoo.
