Microsoft, Yahoo back on dinner table
Yeah, that’s true. After all the drama after Microsoft pulled out of Yahoo deal, the software giant and the internet pioneer are back on dinner table. Reportedly, Microsoft is not going to buy whole of Yahoo, but is considering some “other” alternatives. Here’s the official version.
“In light of developments since the withdrawal of the Microsoft proposal to acquire Yahoo! Inc., Microsoft announced that it is continuing to explore and pursue its alternatives to improve and expand its online services and advertising business. Microsoft is considering and has raised with Yahoo! an alternative that would involve a transaction with Yahoo! but not an acquisition of all of Yahoo! Microsoft is not proposing to make a new bid to acquire all of Yahoo! at this time, but reserves the right to reconsider that alternative depending on future developments and discussions that may take place with Yahoo! or discussions with shareholders of Yahoo! or Microsoft or with other third parties. There of course can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions.”
