Um die Übernahmeschlacht, die sich Microsoft mit Yahoo liefert, nachzuverfolgen, lohnen sich die Artikel auf heise online:

NWS CEO Murdoch: ‘Definitely’ No Yahoo Bid; No To AOL, Too
By Staci D. Kramer - Mon 04 Feb 2008 02:02 PM PST

News Corp (NYSE: NWS). chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch was emphatic just now when asked by analyst Jessica Reif Cohen about the possibility of bidding for Yahoo: “We are definitely not going to make a bid for Yahoo.” Rumors of News Corp. as a Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) rival have been swirling since the offer was announced Friday morning. This should put an end to it … but probably won’t.

Update: Murdoch said last year’s reports of “talks” with Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) were exaggerated, that there were “references” in social meetings and that was with “the previous chairman”—i.e. Terry Semel. No comment on the possible impact of a Microsoft-Yahoo combo.

AOL?: Would News Corp. be interested in acquiring AOL? “That’s an even easier question. No.”

44,6 Milliarden Dollar will Microsoft für Yahoo! zahlen. Hintergrund ist, dass Microsoft Google auf dem Werbemarkt Paroli bieten kann. Yahoo ist nach den letzten Quartalszahlen etwas angeschlagen. Microsoft startete ein Angebot und bietet den Aktionären 62% über dem Schlusskurs.
