Oh and along the way she dropped a masterful F you to her interviewer, Kara Swisher, which you will find either entertaining or ridiculously over the top, depending on your point of view. At least she got a good laugh -edited to remove an error-.

So now she is talking more about Microsoft at the Bank of America U.S. Technology Conference today. Her discussion is hot on the heels of the coming out party of Microsofts Bing search engine. So how do think she played it? Here are some tidbits

Yahoo doesnt have to do anything with Microsoft about anything, she said. Yahoo has a bright, bright future, probably cleaner and simpler without even thinking of any Microsoft connections. I personally think wed be better off if we never heard the word Microsoft.

OK. Score one for the It doesnt look like Yahoo and Microsoft will be doing business anytime soon set.

As for Bing?

Theyre not going to get scale through Bing. Theyre going to get some temporary interest, she said. Its interesting but not over-the-top interesting, she said. People will keep the same habits.

Do those habits include not using Yahoo as their search engine of choice as well? Yahoo has plenty of work ahead of it to be viewed in the light that Ms. Bartz sees it in her comments on the video. Moving forward, it will be good sport to see what and whom she leaves in her wake. If nothing else, it might be fun to see the next recipient of a public C-level f-bomb.
