News Microsoft withdraws from Yahoo! acquisition

Microsoft has withdrawn its offer to buy Yahoo! after a last-gasp attempt to seal the deal. Almost $50 billion is still not enough.

 

I think yahoo are somewhat blind to the situation they are in, the deal would have been beneficial for both parties. Not that i'm really bothered about either search engine. Google is the way forward, i haven't used yahoo since the days if Windows 95.

 

Quite surprised M$ backed down after all this time, but to be honest I don't think Yahoo was worth it's asking price.

 

I don't think Yahoo is/was worth the asking price, and I think for many reasons the whole thing would have been a massive disaster for both parties.

 

I've never used yahoo


+ I don't think it's worth $50 billion

 

phew, i dont need to find a new ESP

 

I haven't used Yahoo in nearly 10 years. I give them some props for surviving this long, but if I ever need to look up information, Google is always my choice.

 

Google Cheesecake .... heh i remember when i first got on the net ... Netscape and yahoo , but it would seem Google has got the market

(BTW very good use of the word sensor )
