Yup but its percentage profits are less than Google. Google is growing fast.
Microsoft offers $44.6 billion for Yahoo

Microsoft had it always easy of its business philosophy "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish" until now. Not anymore, regardless of Yahoo giving in or not, they just can't beat Google Inc.
I just hope Google doesn't turn out as bad as they are made out to be in the long run and doesn't go the Microsoft way. It is much more respected company and hope it stays like that.

Well I certainly feel that it would be not worth an acquisition as Microsoft needs to improve Hotmail and Live Search.
It would be better if Microsoft acquires AMD instead.

AMD is a CPU company. What has M$ to do with it ? huhWell I certainly feel that it would be not worth an acquisition as Microsoft needs to improve Hotmail and Live Search.

yahoo soft may be in the future tense at present..but it offer some good opportunities for reducing piracy levels of Windows to some extent..Just consider the scenario. Some time in the near future you are trying to download a Yahoo application. But every time a window pops up asking you to validate your copy of the Microsoft Windows operating system as genuine. That is because big brother has just acquired Yahoo and everybody knows old habits die hard.
Consider you open a yahoo mail...after reading the contents of the loved one you are shocked to find the foot note from ,of course,l Mighty steve Ballmer himself pleaded with you, “ Dear customer! can you inform the sender of this e-mail to use only genuine Micro Soft products only.. Because the email is from the Pcrunning on pirated windows software”
On the other hand when you are seriously typing a webmail in yahoo , a message pop-up, Dear customers! it is time to check your OS geniune with Micorosoft web site..
Ofcourse You may be puzzled.. because you are not using Windows of any kind but using the GNU/Linux.. how come..?
Your query may return a sharp rebuke,
You know we have patents on Linux ..
Yahoo -Soft blue print is already hot discussion in many forums.even before Yahoo shareholders inked their approval...
Let us face the double barrell Shot-gun!!

It was always a matter of time, i guess! both ms and yahoo failed to make a mark in THIS segment, in spite of plenty $$ investments here ! yahoo was recently forced to lay off so many people ! ms is cash rich, and if these two come together, would make a strong No 2 to take on google !

God grace!let google continue!we dont want M$haft monopoly with yahoo also
M$ days are numbered.they did the biggest mistake of vista.now trying to buy yahoo?OHO!our M$ fanboys here used to show me screenshots of that cr#p called live.com(hotmail?) with lot of features which is sh!t for me
Biggest Lesson:No country will remain ruling others.the mighty hitler's germany came down!similarly the new monopolist and anit-competency expert and a shrewd fcuking business man called Bill gates's M$haft can not be here ruling for another decade.
times will come when his company's FUDing,Software Patents will backfire on M$haft I am expecting a co-allition of corps like IBM et al along with FOSS killing the biggest evil of 20&21st century called M$haft
some other companies,may be it is google or who knows will kill the M$haft from its business eternally.this is nature's law.
I'd be the first one to post that news here about M$ liquidation Happy days with FOSS

Anybody reading praka's posts (in any thread) will think that Microsoft was directly resposnsible for his misfortune/failure. Honestly, how many of you were actually affected by Microsoft's policy or softwares? Tell me.
And this isn't the case with only Microsoft, this monopoly thing. Every big company enjoys monopoly of some sort. Do you know Reliance's Subhiksha stores are killing the small scale businessmen who sells vegetables and other consumer goods? Isn't that evil too? But do you care? No.

@blackpearl - Well said
@praka123 - Buddy, first of all every company has its own share of killing its competitors, if you are so straight forward in pointing fingers at Microsoft, then Intel is far worse than Microsoft IMHO.Intel has killed AMD so as to say that the Chip competitor has suffered losses and was rumoured to be bought by several different companies like Samsung, nVIDIA and even Google.And by the way if you are still thinking that only M$ is in the DRM crap, don't forget that even Google is a member of TCPA which in future is planning to bring what is known as TPM or Trusted Platform Module.
Competition should be healthy for the end user to select from a variety of options. In this regard I need to stress that FOSS and Mac OS X have made Microsoft reduce their prices which I still think is costly
(Windows Vista Ultimate).
From M$ point of view, it needs to simplify its process of launching its versions of OS (Vista 5 Editions was a total misqueue).
I still feel XP's release was the best (Initially only 2 OS and then when there was a MCE requirement, they released MCE later)

^u didnt get my point.there are lot of things which as a FOSS supporter I cannot get with M$haft.like the "get the facts" FUD,or sueing Linux via SCO Unix claiming codes or treating the user as slave with inbuilt DRMing of Vista and that goes on..Intel cannot come anyway near M$haft when it comes to trying to destroy Open Source Community and Linux esp via software Patent claims etc.
Even I am against these Hardware corps who are building DRM's inside their every product,be it a processor,hdd or whatever.this sucks!
and RIAAA the main losers who want to eat user rights!
I think this post will let know what I meant:
