Mathew's comments: MSFT and YHOO: Then there were two

    //And then there were two. If Microsoft’s $4.6-billion (U.S.) bid for struggling Web giant Yahoo Inc. is successful//

    shouldn't it be $44.6 billion bid.

    What about News Corp. or IAC as Web titans?
  • mathewi · 1 year ago
    When it comes to Web properties, News Corp. only has MySpace really -- and
    IAC isn't in the same league as Micro-hoo or Google, I don't think.

    Yahoo please please please, no! I have many yahoo services and would hate to have Microsoft involved in your products!!! NO!!!!!

    I would hate to see Yahoo taken over by Microsoft it would be horrible!

    Think you're out of luck, Robert -- I would be very surprised if this deal
    doesn't happen. The only thing that could potentially knock it off the
    rails would be anti-trust concerns, and even there Google is already 75 per
    cent of the market so the feds aren't likely to care.

    Heh. Surprisingly similar to my blog post, although I haven't read your coverage before. I agree, this is desperation; Yahoo pretty much has no choice but to accept.
