Most analysts have said they think the deal ultimately will be closed because the two companies individually have been unable to slow search giant Google, whose grip on the $25 billion online advertising market has been growing. Together, they could pose a significant foil to Google, especially in online display ads, still a large portion of online advertising.

What's more, during a three-month battle of wills with Yang and his board, Ballmer has made it clear how important Yahoo is to Microsoft's prospects for staying relevant in the Internet era and recapturing lost momentum to hard-charging Google.

Meanwhile, Yahoo has failed to come up with solid alternatives to Microsoft's offer despite making repeated overtures to the likes of News Corp. and Time Warner's AOL, in addition to Google.

Microsoft's offer on Feb. 1 had immediately sent Yahoo's shares soaring to close to $30 a share, just under Microsoft's original $31-a-share offer, which was a 62% premium on Yahoo's stock price at the time. Analysts have said that if Microsoft bowed out, Yahoo's stock would likely sink back close to its price before the offer, about $19 a share, or even lower.

It's possible Microsoft is hoping that as Yahoo's stock sinks and shareholder lawsuits inevitably are filed against the Internet portal for not taking the Microsoft offer, its board will reconsider its recalcitrant position and Microsoft could come back with another offer, perhaps reduced from its original one. The polite tone of Ballmer's letter could indicate it hasn't ruled out a deal eventually.

But it could take weeks for the two sides to sit down again. For now, the Internet's biggest deal yet is dead.

你貼這個人家不屑看的
又不是國文的

会说我“不晓得你的中文阅读水平是个什么档次， 不过如果阅读完原文得出‘Yahoo的股东才是现在最郁闷的’的这种搞笑言论，恐怕只能说明你的理解能力或逻辑思维能力真是出奇的低。”吗？

很期待周一开市的时候这个图会变成什么样子啊

还有硬盘那，估计下一批XO马上就跟风标配硬盘了

哪个主机先标配硬盘的？:D

这消息的最大受益者还是谷歌，今天目前为止每股已经升了13.6美刀，＋2.34% :D
雅虎啊，虽然你的display ad很牛X，但是股东们似乎都没什么耐心了。。。

MSFT目前正在花费以亿的资金，希望打造自己的广告力量。如果真的收购了YHOO，先不考虑“消化”的效果如何，仅就两家公司目前的状况和发展目标来说，应该是互相补充的。
刚才说了，YHOO在display ad方面业界领先，MSFT可以直接“拿来就用”；而MSFT强大的资金后盾和相对成型的live平台，则让YHOO的股东们从黯淡的发展前景中看到了一丝希望。再加上这种大鳄与大鳄之间的收购，本身就充满了市场效应，短期内带来的那种“爆炸力”是非常可观的。
我觉得，微软始终是会把YHOO弄过来的，目前退出只不过是在施加压力，讨价还价的手段而已。
