Microsoft is considering joining the group of companies trying to acquire Yahoo.  So far it is just a roomer, and apparently Microsoft's different divisions are torn as to whether they should acquire Yahoo or if they should not.  This is just three years after their failed attempt at acquiring Yahoo, but it seems Yahoo is less unwilling now than it was three years ago.  Yahoo has undergone some changes since then, and fired its CEO Carol Bartz last month and is looking for a new leader. Yahoo may be considering getting acquired by another company instead.  Yahoo will give Microsoft a good boost for Yahoo still has a large number of subscribers and visitors of the website.  Microsoft is not the only company looking to acquire Yahoo there is also a range of companies from a Chinese internet company called Alibaba to many private equity firms like Silverlake Partners.  This means it could take more than just a little for Microsoft to Acquire Yahoo.
