Well it passed yesturday on the news, Bill Gates company aka Microsoft bought Yahoo for 3 bilions of dolars, does anyone have any more news on this? I herd microsoft wants to make money off Yahoo's search stuff. I don't really know if this is true, but i herd it on the news:s

[l3lueMage]

now they are going to sue AOL for using the same template

If I would own Yahoo. I'd laught a 3 Billion. 80 sounds more like it though.

Aight, back to the real world...

Microsoft + Yahoo would be awful. Imagine all the adverts on your desktop?!

As far as I know Microsoft ofered Yahoo $50 billion, according to TechCrunch, and I've read somewhere else today (will try to find the link) that the sale didn't go thrue.

50 billion.... sad how I used to think millions were alot haha now billions is the new fad

Microsoft buying yahoo is possible but not for $3billions of coz !!! yahoo worth far more then $3 billions

1st reason: Goggles is developing a something like window but i was told that it is much better then window
2nd reason : comparing yahoo.com and msn.com , yahoo.com is a better search engine than msn.com
3th reason : $80 billions is nothing to bill gate, if using $80 billions can defeated a enemy like googles,of coz it is worthly

So your saying there'll be a Google OS? Why don't they just buy ubunto?

[knedl]

Google OS was announced about 3 years ago maybe more along with the google PC but dunno if they've done or even start doing any of these. Microsoft buying ubuntu, hm it's possible, a lot of people use ubuntu (including myself) but mostly becouse it's free, if microsoft buys it probaby won't be a free distributon anymore, so I hope they don't

ROFL @ The idea of Microsoft "buying" a linux distro...

Matt

[SebLev]

yeah, Microsoft wouldn't buy anything linux... and even then it's free so if they WOULD then the developpers can recreat it easly and just give a different name to it... linux would be way to hard to try and buy out

I think you all misunderstood (or maybe I am misunderstanding) but this sounds like Zero,Dub is suggesting Google should buy Ubuntu, not Microsoft.

If Microsoft gets too close to Ubuntu, I don't know what I'm going to do for an OS...

[Bug]

But why would the creators of Ubuntu sell such an awesome free OS? I mean, I thought that was their aim - to provide a free OS like that that is stable etc. etc.

Shun any company who even considers buying out a free OS to sell
