Microsoft Sets Three Week Deadline for Yahoo! In Public Letter

Posted by Zonk on from the little-note-from-me-to-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a letter sent today, Microsoft writes to Yahoo's board of directors to tell them that they would like to 'negotiate a definitive agreement on a combination of our companies.' Their message is a combination of friend and foe: 'If we have not concluded an agreement within the next three weeks, we will be compelled to take our case directly to your shareholders.'"
