Rapid development of events since Microsoft announced the launch of a takeover bid for Yahoo and Yahoo reject this first offer , as Microsoft has been quick to answer , as you pointed Augustine in this comment .

And it seems that Microsoft far from being intimidated in their purpose, seems to take a more aggressive, but prudent, implying that not so easily cease its efforts to acquire Yahoo!, and
reserves the right to take all necessary measures to ensure that Yahoo! shareholders have the opportunity to evaluate the proposal, suggesting that managers are putting their own Yahoo! benefits to the overall interest of its shareholders, stating as unfortunate, that Yahoo! has rejected his offer, because they believe that the combined company would be the best option for both parties.

So this has become pints of a hostile takeover, if circumstances do not change, as Microsoft seems to have the strength to fight for their purpose, which can be effective when achieving his goal, but perhaps not in For actions that can be done to get it, which may not be very ethical, and we'd be talking about some measure of pressure to the board of Yahoo! ......

Subsequently, the statement is again centered on defending any new settings that Microsoft said would provide the combined company, and that the union would offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, while publishers and advertisers to reach be better able to compete better in the online services market.

Similarly emphasize, that this combination will create a more effective company that provides greater value and service to their customers and creating a more competitive market, because this union would result in a strong number two competitor in the market of search engines and online advertising.

Or what is the same: The ability to compete with Google .

Is that all this is not an easy process by any means, is not like buying a loaf of bread. We'll see how it ends, however, it is good that these things happen, it's interesting.

WTF? How can it be right that large companies are grouped together and tend towards a monopoly? From the user point of view, we all lose. The less competition, poor service.
