NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Microsoft Corp. made an unsolicited $44.6 billion cash and stock bid for Yahoo on Friday, a deal that could shake up the competitive and lucrative market for online advertising.The deal would pay Yahoo shareholders $31 a share, which represents a 62% premium from where Yahoo stock closed on Thursday.
CNN Money is saying that this will make Microsoft the number 2 service behind Google, but I have to ask; Who cares?
Yahoo! just laid off 1,000 employees this week. They've been in a steady state of decline across the board. A buyout would make Microsoft bigger, but I don't know about better.
This move seems very familiar.
Anyone remember when this one cell phone company bought this other one? And then they lost millions and millions of customers, billions of dollars, a CEO and a few key execs?
I think that the Sprint/Nextel debacle (Woops! I wasn't planning on calling them out) should have taught us something; you can't improve your company by simply buying another one. Unless you're willing to address the underlying issues that caused you to fall behind the competition, that's where you're going to stay; behind.
UPDATE:
Microsoft has indeed bought Yahoo!. I'm not very optimistic, but if for no other reason than the possibility of more layoffs, I hope that I am proven wrong.

genericpharmacia.com provide the customers with the drugs at the lowest possible costs because they do not have to spend too much on maintaining the physical shop and on hiring the person who will handle the shop. Very less maintenance and rental is required for the online drugs stores so additional savings are done here. Also, www.drugstoregenerics.com purchase the medicines directly from the drug manufacturer so they get the drugs at very less costs and the drug wholesaler doesn’t come in between. This helps the online pharmacies to keep the prices of the drugs at comparatively lower rates than the shopkeepers.
