Good find, although I’m not surprised. From my understanding Yahoo is still huge in Japan (see also Auctions), primarily because it was a separate company and, well, made better business decisions :slight_smile:

I think that’s a better outcome than the brand being sold cheaply to slap on to something else, which is what tends to happen.

Japan has a huge old population and they prefer simpler technology and have the mindset of if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.

Maybe Microsoft should move Windows development to Japan :stuck_out_tongue:
