So they are basically an investment group with the goal of killing off Microsoft's competition and turning the pieces over to Microsoft??? Anyone see Microsoft's stock lately?

Not much better than Yahoo.

Please stop your non-sense Microsoft hatred. Get your facts right.

Microsoft stock outperformed both Yahoo and Google, and also Apple stock during the past 12 months. Just use the comparison feature of the web page link you just sent.

I am really tired of you people trying the bash Microsoft by spreading FUD.

Yahoo + Microsoft still wont be able to *touch* Google's lead.

No doubt Microsoft wants Yahoo's Overture.com business for themselves.
