Microsoft has been looking at a possible acquisition of the Yahoo online portal and search engine, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Citing unnamed sources, the paper claims that a faction within Microsoft is lobbying to have the company purchase a stake in the search provider, but that such plans are "on hold".

Microsoft is also in a situation where by everything relies on one product, Microsoft Office.
Why do people run Windows? because they need their Office fix, why do they run it on the server? because people think that they need exchange (when any damn thing out there could do, plus, most just use exchange as a glorified email relayer),
Thats why Microsoft is working so hard to make sure this crack addiction continues for the for seeable future; sell this false story that you *need* Microsoft Office to run a business, and that you *need* the office system to be productive; anyone with half a brain and is cynical about anything on offer by 'the very big corporation of America' will see right through the PR - none of this so-called 'integrated collabortion' is needed, its more crap being pandered to MBA wizzkids that sit in middle management, without a clue to their name, but simply got into that position because of a TLA after their name.
