Why Microsoft Is Chasing Yahoo

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the jeeves-wanted-to-much-money dept.

latif writes "Microsoft has been chasing Yahoo for quite a while now. Most people think that it all started with Microsoft's acquisition bid for Yahoo, but this is not so. It is well-known that Microsoft and Yahoo have been negotiating since at least May of 2006, and may have been negotiating since 2003. I have done a thorough analysis utilizing information made public over the past five years and my analysis suggests that most people are completely wrong about what Microsoft wants from Yahoo."

    I can't stand the use (utilization) of "utilize" instead of the simpler, more correct "use".
