Guest Hiten. Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Microsoft wants to dominate Google so badly. Interesting battle heating up, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumble_rocks Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Yahoo is a useless company . Rather than talking advantage of it's top dog status , it slept on it's laurels and the result was it get bludgeoned by an upstart company called google. So , Microsoft buying yahoo would be a good marriage for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumper Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 There is no way in the world, this yahoo mgmt will turn it around to reach that valuation again. If i were Jerry Yang, I'd grab this deal with both my hands. Yahoo has gone as far as it can go. Its times up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 MS will need to use all if it's cash reserves and finance some to pay for yahoo (1/2 of the deal is in cash). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Cash is king .. Me thinks deal will be done . Plus looks like their is no anti trust issue. Cash is king yes. But after the deal, MS will go to debt from positive 22 billion in cash reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineleg Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ofcourse EC/DoJ will scrutinize. But when goog bought doubleclick, same issues were raised, but eventually DoJ blezzed the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineleg Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Wall Street Journal does a "L.P.Sahi cricket report like" anonymous sources report :D In a move that illustrates just how badly Google wants to torpedo the deal, Google Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt called Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang Friday to offer his help in repelling Microsoft, according to a report Sunday on The Wall Street Journal's Web site, which cited anonymous people familiar with the matter. The assistance didn't include a counterbid, but may have included supporting other potential suitors, or a revenue guarantee in exchange for an ad partnership with Yahoo, the people said, according the newspaper.

Do you already have an invite for an on-site interview ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
