22 février 2008 Yahoo: Seeking alternative to Microsoft bid
The heavyweight merger tussle between Microsoft and Yahoo admitted a new entrant this week with Rupert Murdoch apparently mulling over a 'white knight' deal which would see Newscorp's MySpace merged with Yahoo in return for 20% ownership. A number of Yahoo's shareholders are keen to take the Microsoft dollar, albeit at a higher offer, but founder Jerry Yang, who returned to head the troubled company 8 months ago, is "loath to hand his baby to Bill Gates' Microsoft"
(Daily Telegraph, 15 Feb), hence rumours of a dinner with Murdoch and some admiring glances in the direction of Time Warner's AOL.
