miscrosft sucks

i heard the news, well you know google now dominate more on the search engines space and microsoft doesn't want to loose ground so they want to purchase yahoo and fight against google. But microsoft sucks on internet space, their search engine is so easy to dominate and every one lost interest to it!

anyway it's just a comment!

and you are extremely happy if you own YHOO right about now . . .trading at about 30% premium in one day.

Schwing!

well Yahoo declined the offer because the offer was too "cheap" to think Yahoo needs money for finances

 

[lucysdoghouse]

I can not imagine this is a good deal for more folks

I have not read way too much about this deal but I just can not believe that this is a good deal for the average conumer o small business owner for that matter.

If Yahoo accept the offer, it will be world domination by Microsoft.
