According to reports today, Microsoft is floating an idea to buy Yahoo's search biz and take a "minority passive stake" in the company. Please. This is nothing more than a fig leaf to cover Microsoft's renewal of acquisition discussions.
Look, it would have made things difficult for Microsoft to simply come out and said, after two weeks of avowed denials, that they still want to buy Yahoo. And it would be similarly hard for Yahoo to say they realized they'd overplayed their hand and they're really amenable to a deal at $33 or $34 per share. So, they can both engage in this barely-plausible cover story, spend a little time "examining" the pros and cons on an asset sale + investment, before concluding that it really makes the most sense for MSFT to simply acquire YHOO outright.
