I think this been a rumored since last year, but now it’s going to be reality and Microsoft is going to buy Yahoo. Microsoft has made an unsolicited $44.6 billion bid for Yahoo on Friday, 1-Feb-2008. I got this new from Saturday’s The Star paper. CNN posted it on 1st of Feb 2008.
Microsoft seeking to join forces against Google Inc with acquire of Yahoo. Yahoo has been competing with Google since last few years. This time is going to be hard for Google with the joint technology with Microsoft.
With news showing that Google has run into problems with reported fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday that fell a penny a share short of forecasts and the company also announced a slowdown in its revenue growth.
I think in near future, Google will buy more assets to compete with them.
USD 44.6 bilion itu hanya tawaran sahaja, Yahoo belum terima, Yahoo meletakkan syarat supaya tidak diintegrasikan dengan "Windows Live".
ReplyDeleteSebelum ini Microsoft pernah banyak meli syarikat Internet tetapi sekadar mencuri pelanggan dan membunuhnya.
Lihatlah Hotmail, yang amat popular dahulu, lihatlah sekarang, berapa ramai sahaja yang menggunakan hotmail berbanding gmail dan yahoo.
Jika Microsoft beli yahoo dan membunuh Yahoo, google yang mendapat faedah
