Microsoft to go Hostile? Depends on Yahoo's board.

This weekend shook out, with the Yahoo board of directors giving the 43 Billon dollar deal a thumbs down today, why!

They say Yahoo is worth more. As we have seen. It wouldn't matter how much money Microsoft threw at Yahoo, it's never going to be enough. Competitors never get along, and if they accepted the offer, it would be like sleeping with your enemy.

So what might happen? Microsoft can look at moving towards a "Hostile" take-over and let the courts decide, or get enough Microsoft friendly members on the Yahoo board and sweeten the deal.

Overall, this whole thing is stupid and it's basically a waste of time and energy. Most people search and advertise with Google and most of the other stuff Microsoft already owns, who are they kidding.. a Microsoft Yahoo Search is still going to be second best.. I guess they just want to move up in the rankings! I like both Yahoo and Microsoft for different reasons.... just not as one.

                

Microsoft to buy Yahoo!

If the billion dollar offer goes through and Microsoft owns Yahoo, what does will it mean?


Microsoft will finally enter the search engine market as a player. As much as they have tried, MSN Search hasn't taken off as Microsoft had hoped. When they purchase Yahoo, they take over and integrate Yahoo Search as well as Yahoo Overture and probably trash the rest, convert yahoo mail to MSN Live.

Letter from Microsoft to Yahoo Board

I'm a fan of Yahoo and Microsoft as seperate companies, I really hope the Board doesn't believe they need Microsoft and it's offer to make a profit, and generate growth. If this went through I don't seen any gains for Yahoo, only for Microsoft.

I see this as a WIN - LOSE...
