Microsoft, Yahoo talks about merger again?
Microsoft is said to be willing to pay the heavy price it would cost to acquire Silicon Valley’s most successful Web portal, Yahoo! And this deal would do more good for Microsoft than anything else the company has done in its efforts to catch up to Google in that market. But an acquisition like this would be a monster deal for Microsoft. Even before getting to the potential integration challenges, Yahoo wouldn’t come cheap.
The renewed talks comes in amid growing threat by search engine and online advertising giant Google for both the companies. In fact, Google replaced Microsoft as the world’s top brand only last month.
