Microsoft needs Yahoo! pure and simple. They will get it. It’s only haggling about the price that is the current issue.

I would go the hostile take over route.

I’d offer $34 and meet them at the low end of half-way. If they didn’t take that, I’d walk away pick up a few small players with loyal users and eager leaders and look overseas for someone that has a large share in foreign markets.

With a little innovation in search features, tools and some help from overseas, Microsoft could probably stand a chance w/o Yahoo. Paying $37 a share seems risky… unless they have it, if they have the money, why not?

The fate of the deal is in his hands. Personally I would offer more for Yahoo. I feel that Microsoft really need to get a foothold in the online business as it’s going to be ever more important to the future of the company.

Yahoo should take the deal. They are a slowly sinking ship in need of a complete makeover. The shareholders deserve better.

I wouldn’t agree with a hostile bid as it will surely dent the morale of the employees.

All in all, I’m very glad I’m not the one who has to make the decision at the end of the day.

Good luck Steve Ballmer!
