WHOA! Guess this is Microsoft’s new strategy for Google…
“Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Corp on Friday said it had offered to acquire Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) Inc in a proposed cash and stock deal valued at $44.6 billion.
Microsoft said it had offered to buy Yahoo for $31 per share, which it said represented a 62 percent premium above the company’s closing stock price on Nasdaq on Thursday.”[NYT]
