Microsoft gives Yahoo! a final warning
Microsoft informed Yahoo! that they should decide if they sell to MS, within 3 weeks. If this does not happen, Microsoft will try to buy directly from the share holders, at a lower price. This kind of offer is very likely to cause massive resignations at Yahoo, and of course Microsoft would not want to lose high qualified employees that gave Yahoo so much value.
The current offer that Yahoo should accept / reject within 3 weeks is $44.6 billion.
