If this happens then it is really going to be the biggest every acquisition in the IT history. It will surely give an Microsoft an EDGE over Google.
It is clearly visible from stats that neither Yahoo, nor MSN ie. Microsoft is able to compete with Google. On the other hand Google is expanding its area by developing and acquiring new projects and areas.
Now when do we get the answer from Yahoo about the Bid ?
In a brief FAQ posted to its Web site, Yahoo says it is "undertaking a deliberate review process" and warns it could "take quite a bit of time, will include evaluating all of the Company's strategic alternatives--including maintaining Yahoo as an independent company."
The move would be by far the largest acquisition ever for Microsoft. Its largest prior deal, also in the online-advertising space, was last year's $6 billion deal to acquire Aquantive.
Well, if no is getting benefited but Shareholders already started getting the benefit as its share price saw nice jump after this Bid got public.
