As a longtime shareholder of MSFT I think they need to get into Yahoo. They need something to spice up their internet presence. They obviously don’t have the “cool” factor as Google does, but they’ll at least get in the game. Right now they’re no where near the gam.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

Of course, it could turn out like the Time Warner AOL merger…

Microsoft need to either put their mark back on the internet, or they need to just slowly fade away like it seems they are doing, until they try to buy someone out.

Microsoft Dynamics is the result of MS buying Navision and Great Plains. For the first year they ran their business. Then they merged in MS with a name Microsoft Great Plains & Microsoft Great Navision. Now they are Microsoft Dynamics NAV & Microsoft Dynamics GP. Totally integrated in MS and new clients never know that the old companies existed. (and no layoffs during the acquisitions) MS can do it right. It's just that Yahoo! has so many services that are crap that need to be scrapped, and that will cause problems. Richard McLaughin's last blog post..Visit Google's Site in Your Local Domain

I never thought they would really quietly go away. There are many ways to take over a company and it makes good business sense for both companies to work together.

Well of course they are going to get Yahoo. Balmer has said a dozen times that Google is the competition. That leaves Yahoo! to be beat or bought. MS has learned the hard way that it is better to buy because it is less painful in the end. Richard McLaughin's last blog post..Visit Google's Site in Your Local Domain

Yes, they will ultimately reach a deal, regardless of what the skeptics believe. I've watched stuff like this happen before. Microsoft is just too determined to let this one get away. I saw it with the Oracle / PeopleSoft acquisition a few years ago, when I was still a PeopleSoft consultant. It's just a matter of time.

They are going to save a load of money by forcing a deal at the current share price. We all saw this one coming. In poker you stand to lose big if your bluff gets called, this is what has happened here!
