Yahoo-Microsoft: One Down, Two to Go

Bill Gates is not stupid and so is Ballmer. I think when Yahoo hook up with Google they realize why they need Yahoo to get the 40% of web surfers.

Nice referral link iqueen. Spamming that crap is cool.

How do i make extra money doing the online survey?.URL given is not working .Can you please provide the right one.

sucker

It looks like Yahoo does not like Microsoft and so maybe Microsoft see's they are not wanted , if Ballmer was so good at marketing then he would not want Yahoo so badley ??plus people around the world would just go to google's if Micro jumps in the game? of Yahoo

hi one down two to go

I'd give it to people who needed it, after taking care of my family first. Perhaps I'd help with the "food emergency" mentioned in other headlines. Side-question: When in the history of man has there ever been a "food emergency"? That's bad news when there are so many people in the world such that a community of people can't provide food for itself and relies on others to take care of it; first-world included.

BOOYAH

Steve Ballmer will make one final offer of $37 and close the deal.

$37? Not in your dream. MS will walk away 2 weeks from now and Yahoo would be left high and dry. Yahoo's stock price will fall to $12. Do you seriously believe Jerry Yang that Yahoo has a bright future, and making big bucks 2 years down the road? I bet Yahoo can't even meet the estimate at the upcoming quarter. 2 weeks from now, Yahoo will fall back to $18. After the next quarterly report, Yahoo will be a $12 stock. With the PE of 60, $12 is in line.

Food crisis, thank the liberal/Dems for that. They pushed "Going Green Bio Fuels" so much farmers stopped planting wheat and planted corn. Supply and demand took over and food prices went up. Thank you Dem/lib/envirenquaks. Onto to better things. I can't blame Yang for holding out. He started the company, so it's personal. But what's best for the shareholders since that's the way our society is being driven by these days. What's best for the customers is what we really should be asking ourselves, but that's not the trend. Yahoo better realize one thing, if Microsoft backs out and AOL is a smoke screen, your stock is dropping hard yang....are you listening. But hey why should he, he's a billionaire any ways and Yahoo is his favorite toy. Thanks for reading

MSFT TIME, AND NEWS CORP want in. Yang is going to do what's best for the shareholders. Flirting with GOOG was a slap in your face MSFT. MSFT will flex its power with a deal Yang can't refuse. Egos are involved and the bully on the block is'nt going to lose. $34+ all cash offer. News Corp might have a shot with MSFT. Time Warner/AOL was Yangs wild cards to up the ante.

Microsoft wants yahoo so they can place yahoo on Microsoft NT servers and tweek the code bit and simply require Mac users to run a windows platform with a new version of IE installed. Its not just for the advertising, its a manuever to create more windows market share. Apple is gaining more market share so the only way to stop that is to take away the largest email portfolio known to mankind away from apple. If Microsoft executes the yahoo purchase, Apple will quite possibly have to start bundling the windows platform and IE on the computers they sell simply so customers do not return the computers that will no longer function on a website that they have used for years supported by the yahoo email usage. Think out of the box.

Let's see. Maybe AOL can help me. Yeah Right. I'll be searching Google for sure if you partner with that Flop.

yeh atheist Lets give the money to all those starving people in Zimbabwe ..Mugabe admits the agricultural system he ran over last 8 yers has failed ..even after he ran the evil rich white farmers from their land. ..That is Americas fault too. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/mar/11/zimbabwe

I think the strategy of Microsoft is great! Yahoo is not easy to find another buyer with this price. Just as what I heard from ManyChat.com

I'd invest 300B into a Space program for mars. And I would want all the cool people in the world to have thier own opp. to do the same. I wish people would stop Bashing the rich and figure out how to educate the poor. So we don't have to keep paying to build prisons and paying cops to harass people. BTW... Each person can teach you something!! The only reason there are poor people is that the rich are to afraid of learning that they aren't better.. Lets all do a little bit more and prove them wrong.

hey Josh: What about that Educated Rich Britney Spears? Just because your educated don't mean your smart with Money and know how to put your skills or talents to good use. There are alot of people in this world who are Educated Idiots like Britney...

MSFT is great company, they know what are they doing. I think this will turn to be great marriage. In the Bargain yahoo is trying to squeeze as much out MSFT and I don't think they will get more then $31/share

Common Sense here again. The deal will be done at $34 a share.Jerry will lose his CEO and pick-up his EGO and be gone EIEIO within 180 days if not long before. I don't like to keep repeating myself. That's it. Tommie Boy
