Msft wants yahoo worse than they lead on because they would be a close second to GOOG, now they may never overtake GOOG thats for sure, but they would have more online presence....
BY the way,,,MSFT ended down today even though way up @ open, and YHOO, although killed at open steadily climbed, so MSFT is needing YHOO more than they let on to even compared to the Big Man On Campus GOOG....IMHO
