Will Microsoft make another offer for Yahoo by the end of May?
Settled as No
TechCrunch: My guess is that Microsoft still very much wants Yahoo, they’re just trying really, really hard to make it look like they don’t. Now is their time to strike (again) as Yahoo’s shareholders are driven to make public comments like the one above out of sheer frustration.
If I were Microsoft, I’d place a new bid for Yahoo at $33 per share, and let the offer stand for three days. (http://tinyurl.com/47y4xx)
