|  Re: Microsoft to buy Yahoo Regardless of who actually "owns" it, it's still not owned by Google or M$ yet, which is cynically destined to happen... That's all I meant.   |

| Re: Microsoft to buy Yahoo Actually for their shareholders it was probably a good deal. I know if I had stock in Yahoo and the board rejected a good offer where I could make money I'd be pissed.  |

| Colonel Calamity | Re: Microsoft to buy Yahoo sorry been a weird morning... I was thinking Google but when I typed Microsoft I continued that thought accordingly... I hope they deny Google as well so that there is competition... and competition breeds innovation which is why MS just rehashes the same crap over and over in a prettier package, because there is no reasonable competition.

| Re: Microsoft to buy Yahoo Yahoo's stock rise is in part to Microsoft's bid which is basically only $2.00 per share over Yahoo's current value. Yahoo should be able to get more than that from Microsoft. Then again MS might wait for Yahoo stock to go down. Google doesn't like the buyout because it could bring stiffer competition for them. Personally it means little since I rarely use Yahoo for anything other than a e-mail account to send stuff I don't want on my Google account. |
