Yahoo have something MSFT wants (intellectual capital), and it's worth more than MSFT was willing to offer. For now. |
Google is very aware of this as well and after reading the full article on post 47 then I would expect that contract between Google and MS to be iron-clad from Google's side. No way did Google want Yahoo to go over to the dark side so they played "throw a dog a bone" to keep Yahoo alive and just out of reach of MS. Smart move and when you talk about very, very deep pockets look no further than Google. When was the last time with companies this large that you remember that a rival came to the rescue and stopped another from a potential buyout by a 3rd?
