Why Microsoft Is Chasing Yahoo

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."

It would be nice if we could mod things simply on a -1 or +1 basis, and then use tags to decribe why.

I think a '+1 Peer-Supported Blather' mod would be very funny.

I was in the public library on Thurmond Street just now, skimming through Rogue Herries by Hugh Walpole, when I suddenly came over all peckish.

And I thought to myself "A little fermented curd would do the trick", so I curtailed my Walpoling activities, sallied forth and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!
