Microsoft Offered $40 a Share For Yahoo

fistfullast33l writes "Bloomberg is reporting that a recently unsealed court case by shareholders against Yahoo reveals that Microsoft offered $40 a share for the Internet search company in January 2007 and Yahoo turned it down. We've extensively discussed Microsoft's bid for Yahoo earlier this year for $33 a share, which was rebuffed. Investor Carl Icahn has launched a proxy fight against Yahoo over the spurning of the Microsoft deal." CWmike notes Computerworld's coverage of the revelations: "The complaint places much of the blame on [Yahoo CEO Jerry] Yang, describing him as someone with a 'well-known' antipathy toward Microsoft who acted out of a personal interest to keep Yahoo independent. Something wrong with that? Oh, yeah... public company."

No, it's not. Sorry, but you make me laugh. This is a playground retort one makes near the jungle gym.

You should consider learning about software technology sometime. And this vague comment backs up your playground argument how? Perhaps I should suggest you seek assistance from an English major.
Your Apple fanboyism is corrupting your brain, it would be best if you could seek some clarity. Or maybe stay away from the bananologer.
