 Crook, in what way?

The same could be said for a Konami, Capcom, or Ubisoft. I am still rather shocked that they haven't made it a point to buy a major third party, and I am even more shocked that Nintendo hasn't moved in that direction yet.

MS already bought a major 3rd party, Rare.  Nintendo has recently bought companies and even owns part of Hudson.  Nintendo seems to prefer co-developing games with Sega and THQ more than buying them.  Sony still owns part of Square.

This does seem like an interesting deal but I'm not sure if will make much difference to the average person if MS buys yahoo or not.

imo, they overvalued rather than undervalued. it was a good deal and they should have taken it. I would assume most investors realize how much extra they would be getting over the actual worth of yahoo.

I love how people love google just because their product is nice and cool... when their monopoly is actually more dangerous than any monopoly MS has ever had.....

google is basically controling the flow of information on the web... I don't know if I'm the only one but I think it's rather scary... you know personally who owns google..???? you know their political point of view ??? you know if they are good people ??

I DON'T and I'm rather worried by such a monopoly their for I do support a merging or take over between MS and yahoo... both will be stronger facing google... it's a win/win relationship we have there... just because it's MS everybody is against it.... that's so stupid... and emotion based.... with no analytical thinking...

This is true but because everyone is so anti-Microsoft they will always root for the other guy. It doesn't matter if that company is worst than MS, because no one takes the time to find out. 



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

yeap MrBubbles I totally agree with that... I don't understand yahoo!'s position... they've pretty much lost anyway... I don't see how the shareholders will turn down the offer....
the deal is better than anybody else is ready to offer.. has nobody has stepped in to make a bigger one.... they offer way more than the actual estimated value of the company.... that just madness and way to lose money.. a merging with MS for yahoo is in their interest anyway... whatever people seems to think on the forum... they both would be stronger against google... which is good for competition... and the basic principle of free flow of information on internet in a certain way...

If this Falls throught expect MS to purchase EA and Take Two!!!

I believe the $42 Billion yahoo offer is the only thing holding back MS from acquiring those two.

my question is: why not just make a new Yahoo rival? I bet 5 billion could make the site more pimped out more than yahoo, myspace, google, and wikipedia put together. Then they could purchase T2. (and EA)

Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY

 

I think it would be great if Google stepped in with an offer, and, for some bizzare reason, Yahoo accepted it.

Just to see the look on Ballmer's face.

 Google doesn't have a monopoly (95% or so) in anything.  If they did, someone would come out with something better or at least different enough to take some of their share soon enough, anyway.  So the worst case is really not bad and only short term. Google is owned by it's shareholders (did you know Google was a publicly traded company?).  I know at least one of these people.  He is a nice guy.
