Microsoft might buy out Yahoo for $44.6 Billion

 &

Heard this little tidbit on the way to work today. At a price of $31 per share, for a total of approximately $44.6 Billion, Microsoft is looking to buy Yahoo.

I wonder how my friend, Venkatesh Tatineni, will take the news, as long as they don't switch over to .Net anytime soon -- he should be okay with it -- I think.

Microsoft is hoping on the fact that Yahoo will double in value within the next 3 years. They believe that the two companies will be able to pull out better R&D, media, and better advertisers.

Hope Steve Ballmer knows what he is doing.
