Report: Microsoft Considering Salesforce Acquisition

Posted by Soulskill on from the go-big-or-go-home dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Bloomberg reports that Microsoft is considering making a bid for CRM and cloud software company Salesforce, after hearing that Salesforce was entertaining an offer from another company. No talks are underway, but Salesforce has started working with investment banks to figure out how it wants to respond to such offers. Salesforce has a market value of about $50 billion, so any sort of acquisition would be a huge business deal.

    oh the 90% tax bracket. You do know that's a bit of a myth, right?. It's technically true in that there was a tax bracket at 90%, but much like today, your tax bracket and your effective tax rate can be quite different. Do yourself a favor and lookup effective tax rates when the 90% tax bracket existed. I'll give you a hint, it was nowhere near 90%.
