Yet another twist to the Microsoft and Google battle is the bid to take over the giant Yahoo. After its public announcement of offering an unsolicited $44.6 billion to buy Yahoo, Microsoft has created a storm in the online industry. But for Google, it was yet another altercation after the tiff over Google's proposition to buy the online advertising company DoubleClick.
According to sources, now Google is also paving its path to help Yahoo. Almost a year back, when Google proposed to buy Yahoo, the deal did not happen. It is that time of the year again, when two giants are battling it out to pull off the deal. As per Google, if Microsoft wins over the deal, then it would have formidable control of the web and that makes the 'openness' of the web quite vulnerable.
Sources close to Yahoo opine that the board at Yahoo has asked for more time from Microsoft to think over the deal. They also said that Yahoo is open to Google buying them out and it is also considering the choice to remain independent.
But what do netizens, the end users, have to say about all this? There have been mixed responses from the netizens who also are aware of both the propositions. While some believe that Microsoft's takeover of Yahoo would not really affect their search and that it would be a good match, on the other hand, others opine that Google would remain the undoubted leader whether Microsoft wins Yahoo or Google does.
