A few months ago, Microsoft walked away / was pushed away / whatever from the Yahoo purchase. Since then, quite a lot has changed in fair TechLand, and Yahoo looks like a much better buy now:

A lucky break a few months ago, anyway – Microsoft would look a bit dim now if it had bought Yahoo. But it may well be a good time to start running the ruler over Yahoo again….. and there is still all to play for on the GOOG / YHOO front too.
