Todd Bishop: It's only Monday, and already there's significant activity surrounding Microsoft's bid to acquire Yahoo. But will any of it be meaningful in the long run? Here's a quick summary for anyone catching up on the latest in the MicroHooGoog saga, as we call it around here. | ||

Cute..winux is showing his age...he must be a product of "reganomics trickle down effect"
I think that : "Resitance is futile, you will comply now" is more appropriate. |

Redhook: Resistance is futile. You yahoos will be assimilated.
New Star Trek flick coming out in 2009. I hope it doesn't suck. |

The entire saga still does not make sense for me.
This is not math: adding a - to another - does not make a + . Or, if you prefer: adding a looser to another looser does not make a winner. This post was edited by Fritzly on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 16:01. |

| Fritzly - you're right... but it will supposedly allow Microsoft to hit around "30% of the search market" they said they wanted to achieve a year or two ago. |

#4: "adding a looser to another looser does not make a winner"
Are we talking about MS and Yahoo or Star Trek Films? |

I think Microsoft will have their way if Google does well tomorrow when it reports and Yahoo! tanks when it reports next week. In other words, if quarterly reporting goes as it has gone for about 8 quarters now for these two companies.
Already, investors have traded Yahoo!'s stock down over three dollars from Microsoft's bid price. Usually when a company that is sought by another refuses, the stock goes above the bid price. This signifies that investors think that the suitor is willing to up the ante to capture its prey. Microsoft has clearly said that they are not interested in raising the bid. If Microsoft is shrewd, they have gone into the stock market and have been buying up the Yahoo! stock. In this way, they will eventually have to be seated on the Yahoo! board. Meanwhile, I am still not convinced that the European Union are going to go along with this move on Microsoft's part. Time will tell . . . |
