Hold The Front Page! - Microsoft Buying Into Yahoo!
Microsoft may aim for Yahoo! acquisition
Software giant considering major purchase of Yahoo! stock in effort to keep up with steamrolling industry leader Google, newspaper reports.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Microsoft has been in talks with Yahoo! about potentially acquiring a major portion of the company, according to a report published Wednesday.
Members of the company's top management are considering a deal despite Microsoft's history of winning over major technology markets - think Web browsers - on its own, The Wall Street Journal said.
Microsoft executives hope that Yahoo's strength in search and advertising categories would give the company a stronger foothold on the Web, the report said. So far, millions of dollars invested in search-engine technology and online ad systems have yielded little in the way of revenue or market share for the company, according to the Journal.

Sad
Sad to say but two times nothing is still nothing.
It'll only get better if Bill bankrolls it instead of just talking.
