Reviews are flying yet again that Microsoft and Yahoo are close to finalizing a search/advertising partnership.Indeed,
Windows 7 Activation Key, this is a minimum of the 50th time we;ve heard this more than the past yr. Indeed, execs from Microsoft allegedly are jetting to Yahoo headquarters for (non) hush-hush meetings. And yes,
Office 2010 Standard Key, each providers aren't talking publicly about what may possibly or may possibly not occur.(Supposedly,
Office Home And Business 2010 Key, Yahoo could outsource its lookup business to Microsoft and Microsoft could possibly allow Yahoo deal with part of its marketing. Or something like that….)The timing couldn;t be better for Microsoft if such a deal comes through. On July 23, Microsoft reviews its fiscal 2009 fourth-quarter earnings. With no
Windows 7 available but, Microsoft;s Windows client company will likely be flailing a bit. It;s also Microsoft;s annual sales conference next week. Can you imagine CEO Steve Ballmer galloping around the stage, with the Microsoft sales and marketing and advertising corps cheering his hoarse cries of “Bing! Bing! Bing!”?By the way, in spite of all the Bing hype and studies claiming exponential growth from week to week,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, Comscore said that Microsoft;s search share actually grew .4 percent in June, the first month Microsoft;s revamped lookup engine was widely available. So now Microsoft;s lookup share is 8.4 percent, Yahoo (which lost share in June) is at 19.6 percent and Google is holding steady with 65 percent of the lookup market.At Microsoft;s Worldwide Partner Conference this week,
Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate, neither Ballmer nor Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner allow the word “Yahoo” pass their lips. Ballmer mentioned Bing, but significantly more in the context of proof that Microsoft can take endless abuse but still be tenacious. (And to tell Microsoft partners they should make their lookup default Bing and not Google.)Is a multi-billion-dollar Microsoft-Yahoo offer finally going to occur? I have no idea. But if it is, next week would be a great time for Microsoft to announce it.
