By xaby | June 12, 2007
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Microsoft, the world’s largest software company, is reportedly in preliminary talks to buy online search company Yahoo!. And if the two companies do decide to merge, they could create an Internet advertising powerhouse that would rival industry leader Google, analysts said.
According to reports in both The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal Friday, Microsoft (Charts, Fortune 500) is said to have approached Yahoo (Charts, Fortune 500) to discuss a possible combination. But one source close to the situation told CNNMoney.com that Yahoo may not be interested in a deal. And late Friday afternoon, The Wall Street Journal also reported that talks between Microsoft and Yahoo are no longer active.
