If there were any hopes left that Yahoo and Microsoft would find a way to renegotiate a possible acquisition of Yahoo, they were squashed today.

Wait, hopes? Who would hope for a Microsoft Yahoo merger (besides shareholders), and Yahoo's bluff? What?

I don't know. It didn't seem like Yahoo wanted to play ball at all. It looked like certain Yahoo execs wanted no part of a Microsoft merger, despite the profitability, and were making efforts to make Yahoo less appealing to Microsoft when they took things to the shareholders in a hostile takeover. Why else would Yahoo propose merging with AOL, if not to fortify themselves against a hostile takeover? The shareholders would have made money off this deal, and should be pissed, but this feels like a victory for Yahoo execs to me.

Anyway, thank god. The idea of Microsoft getting their dirty hands on a company like Yahoo... made me cringe. It will be interesting what Microsoft's next merger move will be...

It will be more interesting to see what Yahoo does next and how the company will fair in say 5 years?
