Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Why does Yahoo call Microsoft a hostile takeover?

Sri, but we don't know if it's that Yahoo doesn't want bought out. It could just be that they feel $44b isn't enough.

Doesn't not make it hostile if that's the case, it just mean that MS can make it cordial (or whatever is the term) by sweetening the deal with more money.


That Yahoo's mind can be changed in favor of the buyout for whatever reason does not make the current situation any less hostile.

 PS: anybody thing of Homer Simpson's Internet business being "bought out" by Bill Gates
when hearing the news? Now THAT was a hostile takeover.
