Wow...looks like Yahoo has to decide whether to eat cheeseburgers with Microsoft, or left-over french fries off the ground with Faux & Co. theBlueTick.com

the Microsoft-Yahoo fusion can allow much more "synergy" (then, "profits") than a MySpace-Yahoo fusion

clearly, the Microsoft bid is not good for the (soon "assimilated" or fired) Yahoo management, but it's the BEST (if not the ONLY) choice for Yahoo and its investors

my question about (both) Microsoft and Murdoch is: "how many years of profits they'll need to cover the $45Bn+ acquistion price of Yahoo?" (in other words, "is Yahoo really a good business for them?")

It's just another ploy to raise the Microsoft bid.

It gets to wonder who is going through a transformation yahoo or news corp? Yes it might seem a good move for RM to get yahoo stock but then is he getting a white elephant ? Besides the top management at yahoo has failed to re invent yahoo as a portal player . I think it is time for MS to take over Yahoo and make it a player it ought to be. Besides the $ , MS will make help Y! get the move from pimple spotting teen to a beard sporting grown up !

I think I'd rather see a Microsoft buyout over a Murdoch buyout.

Thanks for writing this article. I can't believe how little thinking is in some of the other reports.

What I can't figure out is:

Why would Murdoch want to trade the profits and cash that FIM will increasingly generate for 20% of Yahoo?

Does anyone really think murdoch would trade money making businesses for a 20% of a company that can't get anything right?

You make more of a case for Murdock wanting to partner with Yahoo, than trying to do intel on the MSFT acquistion. Murdock could be out of the AD BIZ in a decade if he ignores the web
