Microsoft ends bid for Yahoo

dang, i was actually curious what M$ was going to do with yahoo!

THis is hillarious, u can tell MS wants complete control of things like back in the late 90's and turn of millenium. It's not going to happen anymore. Google, for now is a legit contender. Linux is making a slow but sure climb. THere is going to be others popping up soon. MS...Face it!!!.............you dont own the world of computers. Greed...uh..what an awful adj.

They Do if you want to Play Games

bill gates could buy yahoo from his own pocket, ms is part of our lifes, it's shame but we end up using their products or paying someone u uses it, it's just gone to far we can't turn it back
as bad as it sounds we need MS

@chaos zzz,
Yeah, i must agree. I would buy Windows OS anyday over linux and Mac. They make great software and it's part of our lives now or daily routine...lol I suppose those are issues for major big wigs like them, buying and selling to stay atop the Tech race.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!1

*wahha*

......why did i ever give my brother that $120 to put into MSFT!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



in other news the guys at Microsoft dont look like this anymore....no they work in cubicles and rush out every Friday afternoon to get back to their tiny apartments......its amazing, if you ask me the company's been going down hill ever since bill said he's leaving and going to conquer Africa......

I wish i had 48 billion : (

whether you want to admit it or not, MS is becoming a contender in every aspect of technology. It used to just be that they were an operateing system for computers. But, This week I bought a Samsung Blackjack II guess what it has windows moblie. Now theres PDAs with MS. Also this week, my boss bought the new ford edge, then I had to finger out the MS sync in it. Let's not forget the XBOX. Oh also their mp3 player the Zune.(which i on and love) Now I know there are some real MS haters out there, MS is only doing what any company should do. Expanding and reaching into new markets and keeping the share holders happy. The same thing sony does............yes if you look sony, has comps, radios, tvs, surround sound, car sterios, mp3, play station, blank media, and lord knows what else. So before we all hate on MS, maybe we should take a look at what they've accomplished as a company. Cause to be honest they really are taking over the world. or at least attempting to.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I ain't in school no more so I don't care about my spelling, puncuation, grammer or anything else. And to those that wanna bash my comments
I got to words for ya (ah man gotta stay in good graces with the mods.
Just my thoughts

i gather in fear of the day when google takes over.....

microsoft take a lot of stick with various problems in their op system and macs are looked upon as a much more stable system. thats simply down to ms being used by the majority and nothing to do with apple doing it better. we always like to knock ms but thats simply down to a distaste for corporations. you have to hand it too gates for what he has achieved. when home pcs were put to the ibm chairman many moons ago, he laughed and replied "there will be only 5 computers in the future". my only gripe is why the hell can a company like ms produce such a dismal spyware prog like defender without the smart bomb...

it would´ve been funny as hell, going to yahoo answers, and floding it with xbox360 complaints, i now its already flodded whith those, but then it would´ve been funnier :p

If no Yahoo, then what is Bill Gates up to next ?

Bill gates world of technological robot people, or simply bill gates land

Wasn't there a report on here about how Yahoo has lost money the last few years, yet they think their company is worth $48 billion?

I have also seen those rumors of them wanting Logictec, but Microsoft and Sony may lose money in a division, but rarely their whole company loses money. I was under the impression that Yahoo as a whole was losing money on what I thought was a report on here.

Well, you would need to have some business vision to understand how they can be worth 48 billion even if they were losing money, because they are one thing by them selves, but as a tool from microsoft could mean a whole lot of money, just for starters, how does it sound to you having in your very own pocket all the yahoo mail + hotmail/windows live mail suscribers, just talking about the revenue they could do from advertising in those two mail services, + implementing the yahoo answers service to the microsoft knowledge base + every little piece of software yahoo has ever programed and had some acceptance from users, i could just think of 48billion reasons M$ would like to put their dirty claws on the yahoo puppy
