If the billion dollar offer goes through and Microsoft owns Yahoo, what does will it mean?
Microsoft will finally enter the search engine market as a player. As much as they have tried, MSN Search hasn't taken off as Microsoft had hoped. When they purchase Yahoo, they take over and integrate Yahoo Search as well as Yahoo Overture and probably trash the rest, convert yahoo mail to MSN Live.
Letter from Microsoft to Yahoo Board
I'm a fan of Yahoo and Microsoft as seperate companies, I really hope the Board doesn't believe they need Microsoft and it's offer to make a profit, and generate growth. If this went through I don't seen any gains for Yahoo, only for Microsoft.
I see this as a WIN - LOSE...
