Comments on: Microsoft's Not Bluffing http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080613/microsofts-not-bluffing/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:31:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Kara Swisher http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080613/microsofts-not-bluffing/#comment-3318 Kara Swisher Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:46:27 +0000 http://kara.allthingsd.com/?p=2133#comment-3318 S: I let your ill-informed comment stand (we don't usually allow personal attacks in comments and yours is right on the line), as you clearly are not following along well and are in need of help on this complex story. I was one of the first to write about that Microsoft offer to spend $8 billion on Yahoo shares (the $35 price) earlier in the day, as it was part of a larger offer to Yahoo related to search that it TURNED DOWN in favor of the Google deal. See here: http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080613/microsofts-yahoo-offer-8-billion-stock-buyback-1-billion-for-search/ This piece came after that. MSFT is not keeping that offer in place now, obviously. Thus, NO OFFER of $35 a share for 15 percent of Yahoo. Oops! Now, please stop calling me a liar and I will not accuse you of not paying attention in class. S:

MSFT just openly offered $35 for 15% of yahoo. It's not even more than 24 hours since your posted. HAHA..... Feeling been fooled by your MS source or just your own little lie so that you can write something???? Haha, I think you may want to double check with your MS insider now.
