Exciting news this morning. Microsoft bids $45000000000.00 for Yahoo!
…however, the fat lady hasn’t sung yet. People are shorting Yahoo stock thinking they will say no to the unsolicited offer. It will be fun to follow how it pans out. It seems like a very complex deal, with a mix of cash and stock, and it will need to get approved by the FCC and EU.
On the bright side for Google, it may speed up and guarantee the EU’s approval of the DoubleClick Google buyout.
