Microsoft to buy Aquantive for $6 billion
- stuki 20y agoWow! And here I was thinking $3 billion for Doubleclick was rich! Whatever the merits of the acquisition on its own, deals like this is bound to send a strong signal to entrepreneurs and investors that the 'new' MS sometimes will buy rather than crush. Since they're sitting on the biggest cashpile this side of China, that is a sweet thing indeed!
