Microsoft to purchase Yahoo?

Interesting read. To read the article please go HERE .

See: this.

So it looks like MS gave up in trying to beat Google with MSN.

Well it isn’t quite a done deal yet.

The New York Post reported Friday that Microsoft has asked Yahoo to enter formal negotiations for an acquisition that could be worth $50 billion. Yahoo's market capitalization was about $38 billion on Thursday.

Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., had no immediate comment on the report, spokesman Lou Gellos said Friday.

The Wall Street Journal said executives of the two companies are looking at a merger or some other kind of matchup and said the talks appear to be early-stage discussions. It said the companies explored the idea of combining last year but the talks led nowhere.

I never used Yahoo much and if MS get their grubby mits on it I guess it will be even less.

Hi neal63,

Well Yahoo is the standard search engine in the Flock browser, where Firefox has Google.
Acer computer by default comes with the Yahoo toolbar inside IE.
Nobody wants a NaN browser, these are rumblings in the M$ - Google ongoing cold war
