Microsoft vs Yahoo! Simple logic why it won't work out...

Microsoft share price plunges following Yahoo takeover bid
Pull out, Steve, before it's too late!

It seems that shareholders don't think a Yahoo takeover is a good idea. Even though Microsoft just reported some outstanding financial results, its share price is taking a beating. As has been pointed out, this reduces the value of the bid, which is half cash-half shares. Amusingly enough, this decline is hitting two of Microsoft's biggest shareholders -- Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates -- where it hurts. Considering that Silicon Valley hates foreigners from the far north (Seattle? They're worse than Canadians) and Microsoft is also taking a beating in the press, this might be a good time to pull out. Before it gets worse.

I'm not a fan of Microsoft, simply because their MSN and Hotmail pales in comparison Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo!. I hope the takeover won't work out.... because i don't want Yahoo! to turn into another Microsoft. And I still can't access Hotmail from my browser for a few days now... Duh...!
