MicroHoo Will Never Be!
Microsoft has reported that talks with Yahoo are over and there will be no formal merger. Microsoft wanted to buy only Yahoo Search in the latest round of discussions.
The Yahoo Board of Directors felt that this was not the best deal for it’s shareholders and rejected the idea of selling off only the Search side of their business.
There are also reports of Microsoft wanting to have regulators look at the Yahoo Google search deal that has been stuck, based on Anti Trust laws.
Microsoft took this same tactic with Google / DoubleClick which only extended the timeline to get the deal done with the Government looking into the deal a bit more.
Ballmer is beginning to look like a baby with his actions.
More to come!
