A new twist in Microsoft's big Yahoo acquisition bid: In a letter to Yahoo's board Saturday, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer gave the Internet portal three weeks to reach an agreement in response to Microsoft's offer, promising to attempt a hostile takeover if they can't strike an amicable deal.
Ballmer's letter is meant to further increase the pressure on Yahoo to act. In it, he makes explicit what were previously only veiled threats. As reported yesterday, Microsoft was said to be "evaluating" its options after it was unable to get Yahoo to enter formal negotiations. Yahoo has said Microsoft's offer substantially undervalues the company. Microsoft has reportedly declined to sweeten the bid by raising its $44.6 billion offer.

About time! MS shares have been under pressure long enough.
Let this issue close one way or the other.

OMG, how dare you stand-up against M$. You're going to die now. We'll just use "our" technology (which we aquired by buy-out from XYZ) to compete with you.. Oh wait, we do. It's called Live Search.
