Re: Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo

From a newspaper today:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/b … oft05.html

The key paragraph:

"Then, just after the stock markets closed, The Journal doused its earlier report. Again citing unnamed sources, it reported online that "in recent months" Yahoo! and Microsoft had talked about a merger or "some kind of matchup that would pair their respective strengths," but that the merger talks are "no longer active."

Looks like there were unconfirmed talks that aren't happening anymore, though there's still potential for small scale cooperation
