I think you must have mistunderstood what I said because I wasn’t trying to imply that the shareholders turned down the Microsoft offer. What I was saying was that Microsoft will now be moving on to the shareholders because the Board of Directors has turned them down.

I owned Yahoo stock for the past 3 years and there is no way YHOO could be valued any higher than $31 a share with its terrible management that it has had. It may be a terrible acquisition for Microsoft, but Yahoo shareholders just want the most value. Yahoo shareholders want this deal to go through I believe.

It is NOT the Yahoo! shareholders that turned down the Microsoft offer, it is the Yahoo! board. A number of Yahoo! major shareholders are on record that this deal needs to be done. The board, either through vanity, protecting their positions, or playing a game of chicken, are making it difficult. Microsoft does not have to convince Yahoo! of anything, or attack shareholders like you imply. Yahoo! shareholders will hold the decision if this is the best return on their investment, and product loyalty or silly MS bashing will not make any difference at all.
