What would a Yahoo/Microsoft Merger Look Like
According to a Forbes article, Microsoft supposedly wants to aquire Yahoo for a very large amount of money (more digits than my calculator can compute). This would be the largest aquisition in IT history, right?
Software maker Microsoft Corp. asked search engine operator Yahoo Inc. to re-enter formal negotiations for an acquisition that could be worth $50 billion, the New York Post reported on Friday.
What would the result look like? The first thing that comes to mind is the name? Would it be called YahooSoft or MicroHoo? And of course, would the new company then be able to beat Google in search?
There is no doubt in my mind that Microsoft is either going to buy, or create a world dominating site. As windows has such wide spread use anything Microsoft does seems small. I am sure the are spending lots of research dollars to develope the next killer app that will take microsoft to an even higher level.
