Microsoft Considering Working with Yahoo! Once Again, Issues a Statement

malware · May 19, 2008

Microsoft Corp. today issued the following statement:
"In light of developments since the withdrawal of the Microsoft proposal to acquire Yahoo! Inc., Microsoft announced that it is continuing to explore and pursue its alternatives to improve and expand its online services and advertising business. Microsoft is considering and has raised with Yahoo! an alternative that would involve a transaction with Yahoo! but not an acquisition of all of Yahoo! Microsoft is not proposing to make a new bid to acquire all of Yahoo! at this time, but reserves the right to reconsider that alternative depending on future developments and discussions that may take place with Yahoo! or discussions with shareholders of Yahoo! or Microsoft or with other third parties.

"There of course can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions."

Pretty certain nothing will come out of this yahoo arnt in the foggiest interested in anything ms say theyve made that perfectly clear.

Yeah after their last tiff, they showed Yahoo that without a deal, they could crash Yahoo's stocks. After that, I think Y! will give up this time around.
