Carol Bartz is a great choice. Yahoo! needs a CEO that keeps trains running and eliminates the structural issues the company has; as the company does have significant revenue and properties, it's not as bad off as people might think.
I think she's a solid choice. Autodesk is a u(dys?)topia of democracy, and she was able to bring order to company departments that wished the other would die. She's been at the helm of a company for 16 years that, were it any other, would have died a miserable death due to bad business development.
She's put her foot down before, and Yahoo! definitely needs that now. I hope she goes all barbarian on Y! and mows down the horde of useless services that have diluted their brand.
As an ex-Yahoo!, I applaud your choice in tags, sir. I also hope Bartz manages to beat the crap out of all the ineffective middle management, drop engineers who don't get things done, and get the place humming again.
