Microsoft Going After Yahoo! Again

Corrupt writes "Microsoft on Monday released a letter that supports investor activist Carl Icahn's efforts to unseat Yahoo's board, as well as confirming its interest to explore a bid to buy the entire company, or just its search assets, with a new board."

no chair left standing in Balmers new office

it seems that Steve "Monkey Boy" Balmer is still having a fit about killing Google and won't let up until he's purchased every other search company/product out there.

How many more times will we hear Microsoft claim monopoly in Googles position yet they are the ones who have not only been in court many times of illegal monopolistic practices but have been convicted of it? Besides, Microsoft's massive financial failures outside of the leveraged Windows monopoly is legendary so how could Microsoft consuming Yahoo be good for anybody but the already convicted monopolist?

My guess is that Balmer knows he has one year to destroy Yahoo or profits from the Google/Yahoo partnership will end that opportunity for a long long time. So long that Microsofts MSN will probably lose 10's of billions more over another 10 years.
