To me the trial is a little futile. Many others commented that even if it had a positive result any long term relationship might cause antitrust issues. I for one simply do not understand why Yahoo insights MSFT’s bid as undervaluing the company. They bid a heft premium over the market valuation of the shares. I am not a shareholder of Yahoo, but would be upset by the bid rejection if I did own shares.

It makes me wonder how long Yahoo can stay in the game.

Yahoo should sell out for the sake of the web and for the sake of having a viable competitor to Google. Yahoo search + MSN dollars = viable competition.

MSN has already responded:

“Any definitive agreement between Yahoo! and Google would consolidate over 90% of the search advertising market in Google’s hands. This would make the market far less competitive, in sharp contrast to our own proposal to acquire Yahoo! We will assess closely all of our options. Our proposal remains the only alternative put forward that offers Yahoo! shareholders full and fair value for their shares, gives every shareholder a vote on the future of the company, and enhances choice for content creators, advertisers, and consumers.”
