[...] Microsoft pursues Yahoo! takeover The same report values Yahoo at $50 billion; and the world renowned bankers Goldman Sachs are giving Microsoft advice on the deal. If the deal comes through, the takeover would be one of the largest corporate takeovers in American corporate history, and likely the largest ever in the Technology sector. Yahoo’s stock was up almost 18% at the time of this posting. [...]

Microsoft will Yahoo für 44,6 Millarden USD kaufen…

Da es mir heute gesundheitlich nicht gerade super geht und ich gar kein Bock auf Computer habe, erspar ich euch das Ganze und komme gleich zur Sache.

Microsoft hat sich schon seit längerem das Ziel erklärt, die Nummer 1 im online Werbemark…

Does anyone else think that this was all a conspiracy by some institutional investors to bump Yahoo! stock price so that they can sell? >;)

This is a very interesting movement. But so far seems the announcement seems to be better for Yahoo (+10% in the last 24 hours) than for MSFT (-1.32%). The boys from Yahoo just made a ten percent more of value with this new!. Interesting…

I’m with the grammar critics. Owners of popular blogs whine about not getting respected as journalists and write this kind of crap? The Strunk and White book is about 50 pages long. Read the damn thing, or find an editor who can. I expect this kind of writing on a no-name blog, not one of at the top.

Well this is Microsoft’s chance to get deeply into the online Market, something that its been trying to do with only marginal levels of success for quite some time now.

Now, if you could combine the Goliath that will be generated from these two companies with something like News Corp, then the end of the world as we know it might be at hand.

Microsoft “loses” every major battle and somehow consistently wins out in the end.

I’m amazed at how short-sighted this community can be.

I would have loved to read a TC thread when Netscape was red hot. “Netscape is going to kill Microsoft and own the desktop.”

Yeah, that happened.

The fastest way to decimate tens of millions of loyal Yahoo Mail and Flickr users? Demand they use IE 7 ( ONLY ) to get their mail and manage their photos – which would be the the first thing Microsoft does on day one.

hahahah riiiiiiight

I’m sure that’s exactly what they’re going to do. Because you get to be the biggest Software company on the planet by doing incredibly stupid things just to make it easier for the Internet to hate you.

My biggest concern is purely selfish; Yahoo is one of the biggest acquirers of startups. Losing one of the biggest acquirers would likely depress acquisition prices.
