I never said they bought anything and done well with it. I was saying that they understand their core business very well, their core competencies very well (neither of which could ever be said for Yahoo) and made a purchase that made sense for them (also cannot be said of Yahoo). The full benefits of that purchase will not be realized for years so its pointless to speculate today on how good or bad a move it was in my opinion.
