Climbing Into Bed With Microsoft
Wow, that didn’t take long. Yahoo gets jilted by Google and they immediately call Microsoft. Classy.
After nearly a year spent seeking alternatives to Microsoft Corp’s buyout offer, Yahoo Inc’s Chief Executive Jerry Yang said he believes a deal between the two is still the best option for the beleaguered Internet company.
Speaking at the Web 2.0 Summit hours after archrival Google Inc ditched its search advertising partnership with Yahoo, Yang said he remains open to selling the Internet company to Microsoft, but at the right price.
It won’t be long now. The problem for Yang is, the price they were offered months ago, was the right price at that time, but not now. Why pay for an old sofa when they could get a modern sofa a lot cheaper? Microsoft would be stupid to pay that price now.
