Will Microsoft be able to Acquire Yahoo!?

There is a hot deal going on between two giants Microsoft and Yahoo!.Microsoft and yahoo! held informal deal talk years ago but was not a good success.
Now its seems that Microsoft is in hurry to acquire Yahoo!.

Yahoo! search giant has a tough competition from 'Google'. Sources said that
this deal is about $50 billion and if this is successful then this could be the highest deal in America's tech industry.

"They're getting tired of being left at the altar," said one banking source
who has recently had talks with Microsoft. "They now seem more willing to
extend themselves via a transaction to get into the game."

Part of the reason for that is because Google keeps trumping Microsoft on
the deal front, beating out the company on not just DoubleClick, but also
for a renewed search advertising pact with AOL in 2005 that Microsoft lusted after.

Moreover, with Google developing Internet-based software that directly
competes with Microsoft Office, sources said Microsoft has no choice but
to go on the offensive.

The market is taking the NY Post report seriously with Yahoo!.
Yahoo!s continuous price rise can be seen in today's market.
