Microsoft has offered to purchase Yahoo. The price offered is a mind-boggling $44.6 billion.
Given the slight reversal of fortune recently suffered by Yahoo, it’s probably an offer that it cannot refuse. Only last week, Yahoo was talking about laying off a large number of staff.
Google has grown so large, that even Microsoft is getting scared. By joining up with Yahoo, it hopes to present itself as a stronger competitor.
The question is will we, internet users, benefit from all of this high-powered wheeling and dealing?
