Microsoft-Yahoo Update
How much does Yahoo not want to become part of Microsoft? So much that the
company is apparently running toward
Rupert
Murdoch's News Corp. for safety.
Meanwhile, Yahoo's staying busy. CEO Jerry Yang is trying
to explain to shareholders why his company -- their company, really -- rejected
Microsoft's first overture. And Yahoo's still trying to run a business here,
doing what companies do: buying
other companies and laying
people off.
Microsoft investors, some of them anyway, are now voicing
their displeasure over Redmond's pursuit of Yahoo. But, the experts -- who,
remember, know
not much more than we do -- say that a Microsoft-Yahoo deal is still
probable.
