The Microhoo possibility is still very possible after all despite Yahoo’s continuous refusal to Microsoft’s unsolicited bids. Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer sent a new letter to Yahoo’s board of directors dated April 5 this time giving an three weeks for Yahoo to accept their proposal. In the letter an ultimatum was given stating that they are prepared to initiate a hostile takeover in case Yahoo stil doesn’t give a (we can assume positive) response by the time the deadline arrives. Here’s a snippet of the interesting letter.
Sincerely,
Steven A. Ballmer
Chief Executive Office
Microsoft Corp.
Woohoo. So I guess we’re in for a suspenseful 3 weeks. ^_^

LOL – I couldn’t believe that when I first heard about it. They have a good point and now that the bid went down, shareholders might be pissed and help force a move by Yahoo! – there aren’t too many companies that can buy Yahoo!
I love Ballmer! He’s just going to throw it out there and make it stick — no matter how ballsy or brash he has to be. The best thing of this whole deal will be that we’ll not have to worry about optimizing for three engines anymore, now it’ll be down to just two. If you ask me, pleasing two masters is much easier than pleasing three. 😉
