Google and Microsoft and Yahoo Pt 2
This buyout of yahoo that Miicrosoft is trying to make happen is trobuling google for multiple reasons. In a blog "Google said the tie-up could unfairly limit the ability of consumers to freely access competitors' email and instant messaging services." Google is also afraid that this would make a strong number 2 competitor. I personally don't see how this is a bad thing since competition is supposed to make better products and services for everyone. What is also interesting about the deal is that Microsoft will actually have to borrow money to pay for the $44.6 billion acquisition putting the company into debt for the first time ever. Apparently further reports have said that Yahoo is considering an alliance with Google to "Fend off" microsoft.
Also if you check the second link it will tell you about how Rupert Murdoch is not going to try and make a move for Yahoo.
