Microsoft Wants Yahoo

"Long-term, a Microsoft-Yahoo! combination could pose a greater competitive risk to Google. But, near-term, we'd be skeptical that search users' overwhelming preference for Google would change." -Mark S. Mahaney

Look out Google: Microsoft is keen to compete, with its offer to buy Yahoo for $44.6 billion in cash and stock. The deal was shot down, but Microsoft has made it clear that it will stop at nothing to take over the company. Such a move could redraw the landscape in Internet consumer services, where Microsoft and Yahoo have long stayed in Google's shadow.
