As Cary Grant said to John Wayne in “Its a Wonderful Life,” frankly my dear I don’t give a darn.

I’m glad Yahoo is rejecting the offer, not for their sake, but for Microsoft’s sake.
It appears MS wants to get a leg up on Google, or at least compete.
Buying Yahoo is not the way to do that. Yahoo is content-heavy. That is not what MS needs. MS already has a content-heavy MSN.com.
Frankly I can’t see what MS finds attractive in Yahoo.
Maybe it’s the name “Yahoo” and the general appeal of that name. 44 billion for a name? Not when I can pull another equally appealing name out of the air... for free.
Maybe it’s the market share Yahoo has. But what good is that market share if revenue from that market share is dropping?
Yahoo search capabilities? They don’t hold a candle to Google. Not even in the same league. Plus MSN has search capaility more or less equal to Yahoo.
No, I don’t see what MS finds attractive in Yahoo.

Yahoo will be down big on Monday on the news. Interestingly Yahoo actually went up with the news while Microsoft went down.
