Microsoft to buy Yahoo for $44 Billion - Dosn't need a loan!!!!!!

Quote:
REDMOND, Wash. - Microsoft Corp. is offering $44.6 billion in cash and stock for search engine operator Yahoo Inc. in a move to boost its competitive position in the online services market.
The unexpected announcement Friday comes as Microsoft, the world's biggest software company, seeks new ways to compete more effectively against the search and online advertising powerhouse Google Inc.

Not too surprising, since I knew MS wasn't revamping MSN searching just for efficiency's sake. When that didn't work, this must have become the fall-back strategy. Regardless, it doesn't show MS has a lot of $$$ to throw around if it so desires.
