Default Microsoft May Be Running Out of Time on Yahoo Deal

Quote:
May 2 (Bloomberg) -- Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer may be running out of time to clinch his proposed purchase of Yahoo! Inc. as the Internet company forges tighter ties with Google Inc.


Microsoft was leaning toward making a hostile bid as of last night, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Yahoo may agree to use Google's Web advertising software within a week, the newspaper reported. The decision would build on a test program the companies ran last month.


After three months of pressing Yahoo to give up looking at alternatives and agree to a deal with Microsoft, Ballmer faces a potential setback. An accord with Google may spur Yahoo's sales and give it a better chance of staying independent, pressuring Microsoft to raise its $44.6 billion bid.

I have a friend at Yahoo (tells the engineers how to code the algorythms) I'll have to give her a call. Although as of a couple of weeks ago, she was a little bit concerned about the 2-3% trial that yahoo was testing with google. Could be another job cut at yahoo...., could be a ploy also...who knows...Real Question is, will Yahoo surrender or will they keep fighting to keep their individuality
