When Microsoft said it withdrew its offer to buy Yahoo earlier this month, many people figured the acquisition dance was far from over - that the withdrawal and the subsequent letter from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to his Yahoo counterpart were nothing more than a move in an ongoing strategic battle. It appears those people were right, as Microsoft just issued a statement regarding Yahoo.

Doing it this way would work out beneficially for both companies.
Yahoo would keep its independence, but still have the backup of the major corporation.
And Microsoft would benefit from an increased userbase / target market.
One thing however, Microsoft should stay away from trying to move the Yahoo email servers from FreeBSD onto Windows.
