Yahoo Is Undesireable for Microsoft Goals
“Our discussions with you have led us to conclude that, in the interim, you would take steps that would make Yahoo! undesirable as an acquisition for Microsoft.”
The news arrived via press release saturday evening that Microsoft and company are through with making any more extended efforts to Yahoo and company. I have posted the letter so that you may read it for yourself and draw your own personalized conclusions from what is said in it. One of the feelings that can be taken away from this whole situation is that Yang feels that it would not be in the shareholders best interest to accept Microsofts offer of acquisition.
So, many are probably wondering why does Yahoo feel they are worth much more than what Microsoft thinks that they are? None of us know the entire story of what companies and the board may have projected into the future. Did Ballmer overextend an offer to an overvalued company? Are they really worth what Yang thinks they are?
One point that is clear is that Yahoo has certainly wrapped up user subscriptions in mass quantities. Microsoft has certainly designed a lot of software in its existence, but do they have the same subscription base that Yahoo has built up over the years. I am asking a lot of questions as you have probably noticed. I do this to encourage your mind to engage in really thinking of many different points of views.
