Microsoft and Yahoo!
On February 1, 2008 Microsoft made a bid to buy Yahoo for a record-setting $44.6 billion dollars. Microsoft is attempting to boost their presense in the search engine and online advertising markets. These are two areas where both Microsoft and Yahoo! have not been able to compete with Google. Google's Senior Vice President, David Drummond, posted this response to the proposed deal, where he basically implies that this acquisition will ruin the Internet. Yahoo! rejected the offer, stating that the bid is too low. It appears that Yahoo! is seeking a second, higher bid from Microsoft or perhaps someone else. Yahoo!'s stocks have risen since the bid was announced; which wouldn't be happening if investors believed that Yahoo! wasn't going to eventually sell notes the NY Times. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out.
