Microsoft Signals It Would Rather Talk To An Icahn-Controlled Yahoo
- pg 18y agoOf course they would. Icahn couldn't actually run Yahoo. So if they were negotiating with him they'd be negotiating with someone who didn't have the option of remaining independent.
- raganwald 18y agoAbsolutely. I love their statement that they will not negotiate with Yahoo's current board. I interpret that to mean that Steve Ballmer does not like to negotiate with people who say "no" to him.
- TweedHeads 18y agoIcahn's whole point is to make a couple of billions from this transaction, he has no interest whatsoever in Yahoo or the shareholders. Why on earth would a company want to sell just the most valuable part of its business instead of selling it all?
