When we constantly hear reports that they “deny” a story, only to get a “no comment on such rumors and speculation”, that tells me it’s pretty much a done deal.

Microsoft and Yahoo have dismissed a report that they’re once again in discussions to sell Yahoo’s online search business for $20 billion.

The Sunday Times wrote Microsoft had agreed to the “broad terms of a deal” but there was no guarantee that it would be completed.

“We continue to offer no comment on such rumors and speculation,” according to a statement supplied by one of Microsoft’s public relations agencies, Waggener Edstrom, in London on Monday.

A Yahoo spokeswoman also said the company had no comment on the report.

It won’t be long now, executives from both companies will be sharing Titleist golf balls out on the course and it will be done. Mark my works.

As I have said time and time again, Microsoft will own Yahoo. Period.
