I don't think MS ever lost interest in the deal, correctly assuming the Yahoo board's intransigence would have many unintended consequences that MS could later exploit. MS could hardly have ordered a better surrogate fighter, though he won't come cheap to them.

My view is that shareholders - esp big ones - are more pissed at the board than is commonly assumed, and Icahn will win the battle easily.
