MicroHoo spøger igen

microhooFor et par år siden var Microsoft meget tæt på at købe Yahoo til overpris. Heldigvis blev det ikke til noget, andet end en aftale omkring Yahoos brug af Bing. Nu er Carol Bartz, så blevet sparket ud som CEO hos Yahoo, og nu er rygterne begyndt at svirre så småt om endnu et potentielt Microsoft opkøb.

 

 

There is talks of AOL and Yahoo looking for a merger, but now Microsoft is also rumoured to be sniffing around the ailing Yahoo.

"Definitely, people are talking about it," a MSN source told Business Insider.

While we usually think in terms of Bing and Yahoo, which makes the deal less attractive as Microsoft has a 10 year search deal with the company, it is Microsoft’s MSN destination which could benefit the most from an outright purchase.

The source told Business Insider Microsoft was not interested in AOL, noting "Yahoo is a lot more interesting. If it comes into play, then at least their U.S. media business is a pretty interesting asset. It’s complicated because of those Asian assets."

Efterhånden kan det være svært at få øje på hvad Microsoft kunne finde på at bruge Yahoo til, når man tænker på hvor skidt det egentlig går for det selskab. Derudover har Yahoo længe bygget deres services på Open Source teknologier, hvilket sikkert vil kræve ændringer, hvis disse services skal være en del af Microsofts online portefølje.
