Microsoft Corp would not rush to merge its technology platform with Yahoo Inc's after a takeover of the Internet company, according to the Financial Times, citing an interview with Microsoft chief software architect Ray Ozzie.

Ozzie described technology companies that rush to merge things together as "reckless," according to the paper.

However, Ozzie said he was "very optimistic" Microsoft could achieve the main goals of the $41 billion deal, and they will concentrate on not disrupting the experience of Internet users and advertisers.
