Rumours from silicon valley this week point towards Microsoft purchasing Yahoo Search and then using $20 billion to get hold of Facebook.Microsoft picking up the Yahoo search business. Word is that this deal will be done this week. While this is not surprising, it does bring to question the motives and plans of Microsoft.
Techmeme is buzzing about the latest Microsoft Yahoo talks that has Microsoft buying the Yahoo Search business only. Here is Microsoft’s and Yahoo official statements.
Why would such a complicated transaction (just Yahoo search with all the headaches and all) be in the cards for Microsoft? After the failed bid for $40 plus billion for all of Yahoo, Microsoft’s intentions are clear. Buy the search business from Yahoo and take that team and go spend at least 20 billion for Facebook. Integrating the search team at Yahoo with Facebook puts a formidable army to take on Google.

and I don't think they are going to buy FB either.
probably breaking some anti-trust law just thinking about it
Bill gates will "buy" Yahoo.

He'll go in break all their pencils and push their computers off the desk? hehe... gota love the Simpsons
"You don't look so rich"
"Don't let the haircut fool you, I'm exceedingly wealthy."
If they forced it to MS servers like hotmail, then they'd have MS coders rewrite it
As for Facebook, I could not imagine this at all. After all, Microsoft's coders would probably end up messing up Facebook's layout, cluttering it up, and turning it into simply another MySpace.
Next, get rid of that Stripper name and Vampire ****. Then, and only then, might I feel like logging on again.
It the end it will be Microsoft vs. Google.

So I don't see what the big deal is.. I actually wouldn't mind MS buying FB.
I'm tired of all the MS haters posting stupid and pointless comments in here.
If anyone knows anything about Microsoft's business, it's Neowin's Microsoft haters.
i was able to do it on my "obsolete OS" too
Hell yeah im a Proud Microsoft hater and why ? because i would like to see them improve their products..
and if i sit in silence then nothing will ever change, fair enough though maybe this isnt the place for MS bashing
but freedom of speech should be respected (as long as people are beeing reasonable)
Id rather be a MS hater than spamming TROLL spotter lol
we dont need USELESS judgemental comments branding other peoples comments as Trolling
as the guy above me has been doing for ages..
you can't bully people into thinking what your want ..get over it & get used to it
