Earlier this year, Microsoft offered to purchase search engine company Yahoo, however, the board of directors of Yahoo shot the offer down beause it 'massively' undervalued the company. This ignited an acquisition dance that took a few months, and rumours were abound as to what either of the two would do next.

Personally, I'm happy to hear that Yahoo has survived for another day without being swallowed up by the ubiquitous Microsoft. As one who opposes Microsoft on many levels because I don't agree with their business practices and I find their products and services to be sub-par, it's good to know that non-Microsoft alternatives still exist. Microsoft can no longer innovate so its only recourse is to buy companies that do innovate. Sorry Charlie, not this time. Microsoft needs to start worrying about its problematic operating systems and buggy software before worrying about purchasing its rivals.
