Microsoft has no plans to buy Yahoo! (this time)

wow, I've never had so much fun watching Jerry twist in the wind. His fckup will be a case study in MBA classes for many years to come.

Poor Yahoo!... I think I should say Poor Yahoo!!!....
Once upon a times, M$ was willing to shell $$$$$ for YAHOO... And now they have lost the chance... And even their partnership with Google ended...

Yahoo! has become a lonely kid sitting in the dark corner now....

I swear, I love engadget/downloadsquad's rendition of their stories about this whole fiasco. Yahoo got too over confident and lost two dates... aww...

And the sad part is that Microsoft could get them at a $TEAL with their stock price being almost a THIRD of what they'd offered initially.

I wouldn't want to purchase Yahoo! either. Jerry really took some of the best employees and tossed them out to different companies, to make Y! less appealing, and Yahoo! hasn't had too much great services that caused a buzz lately.

Yahoo! had its chance, but Yahoo! is looking worse every day.

I think Adobe should just buy Yahoo up. It makes the most sense.

Yahoo really cant compete intensely tech-wise. They kind of focused on portals alone; and they have done it all, and it really seems there is nothing else to do again.

Google is into so much - including knol, adSense, gears and more recently Android and Chrome.

Yahoo only says there search is getting faster as if microseconds speed differential matters to the average user. Even if it does it does not translate to the green-bill.

But Adobe has got serious tech that widely celebrated; they can just partner with yahoo. Because those two companies have got the best designers, creative professional and engineers (that can laser focus on user involvement) in the world.

But really... anyhow you look at it - Yahoo is a great brand!

If yahoo really wants to still stand alone, they really have to broaden there offerings so as to buy "*" and into the future.
