At first I thought Microsoft’s acquisition of Yahoo was a sure thing, then after reading more about it, I figured it would die because the powers that be at Yahoo would fight tooth and nail not to be taken over by Microsoft. Now, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a done deal. Why do I think that? Well, take this first headline,

Microsoft readies Yahoo proxy battle

Microsoft Corp. is getting ready to take its bid for Yahoo right to the Web portal’s shareholders, even as analysts wait for a higher offer.

Then look at the very next headline,

Yahoo adopts new severance plans

Yahoo Inc. is adopting severance plans to take effect if the Web portal is taken over by Microsoft Corp.

The plans cover all of Yahoo’s full-time employees, including its top executives, for two years after a change in control of the company.

Yeah, they know it’s coming. One way or the other, we’ll see MicroHoo sometime soon.
