Microsoft Corp. is once again trying to team up with Yahoo Inc. to challenge Internet search and advertising leader Google Inc., although at this point the renewed talks haven't escalated to another attempt to take over Yahoo. There of course can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions," the statement said.
Yahoo had no immediate comment Sunday. Microsoft emphasized that it hasn't resurrected a $47.5 billion takeover bid that its chief executive, Steve Ballmer, withdrew May 3 after Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, acting on behalf of Yahoo's board demanded an additional $5.5 billion, but Microsoft left open the possibility that it might dangle another buyout offer of Yahoo, depending on how the discussions progress between the two companies and their respective shareholders. The shareholders say yes, but Yahoo economic strategists say no.
Is it right for Microsoft to bully other companies into their web of economic takeover? No, but who will stop them? Ronald Mcdonald? Maybe, just maybe.
