It is only fair to share Yahoo and Google’s position next to the M$ fairy tale above. Yahoo claimed in papers submitted to the FCC that M$ intended to destroy Yahoo not buy it. They claim that M$ lied to the public and was nearly impossible to deal with on any terms other than complete surrender of control. Google’s story about their own deal is mostly consistent with that.
