[...] Bill Gates – Microsoft Won’t Offer More For Yahoo Rather than upping their bid to buy Yahoo, as many speculate, Bill Gates said Microsoft’s offer is firm. [...]

What’s the latest on Microsoft’s offer? Haven’t heard much in the past couple days.

When a VP resigns to join the opposition smack bang in the middle of serious negotiations it must surely show a sign of no-confidence?

I agree Steven, its all posturing for the negotiation.

Why do I have the sense that the words from both sides are not to be believed at the moment? Seems like there’s a lot of posturing going on.

Don’t you wish you could strong arm like the richest man in the world? Too bad the rest of us small business people don’t get to use tactics like these when we don’t get a sweetheart deal.

I say boo to the method!

This is all part of Bill Gates’ negotiating strategy. Borrowed from the pages of Negotiations 101. I bet Microsoft ends up with Yahoo.

Are they not offering more because they think the business is of less value or because they want to extend their profit margin. One somehow imagines that it is the latter. If so, fair play to them as one needs to make as much of a killing as possible out of a business….isn’t it? And there was I thinking that microsoft was only an ethical company.
