SEATTLE (AP) - Microsoft Corp. said Friday it won't totally uproot Yahoo Inc. from its Sunnyvale, Calif. headquarters if it succeeds in its bid to buy the Web portal company.
"In bringing the companies together, we would be committed to maintaining Yahoo's significant presence in Silicon Valley," wrote Kevin Johnson, president of Microsoft's platforms and services division, in an e-mail to employees. Johnson noted that Microsoft employs 1,800 people in nearby Mountain View.
The e-mail was written in question-and-answer format to address recent issues raised by employees. But Johnson did not directly answer questions about staffing and layoffs.
