Microsoft, Yahoo merger talk falls through

The much-hyped issue of amalgamation of Microsoft and Yahoo, in the international scenario, has stopped to move any more and if the CEO of Yahoo is to be believed the bus is missed for the time being. This was affirmed in the recent days when the Yahoo Inc Chief Executive Jerry Yang clarified that Microsoft, the software giant in the global spectrum, seemed to be no longer interested in the complete merger of the two companies. He, however, reiterated that the potential deal with Microsoft would have tremendous prospects in the volatile global business. This forthright statement came as a surprise to both business and media since it is the sharpest public comment of the Yahoo boss to date, especially regarding his assessment of the four month old and far-famed Microsoft merger saga. It is to be noted that Yang indicated that his company was still open to a potential deal but Microsoft was no more in the scene.
