Microsoft Should buy Yahoo says Merrill Lynch
Forbes reports that Justin Post, a Merrill Lynch analyst, recommends Microsoft to buy Yahoo. He believes this would really help Microsoft bridge the gap in competition for number of search queries. Google currently has 44% of the search shares, while Microsoft would have 41% if they opted to acquire Yahoo. He notes that Google has been successful in using internet generated revenue to fund software development, and this is allowing them to dig deeper into the software industry. Post calls this a “a long-term business risk” to Microsoft. Now, will Microsoft take the plunge?
