They need this after their bad showing with "MSN" & "Live." However, I don't think they're going to have to - Yahoo! were always going to go to Microsoft, since they made the offer in January. Before the 3 weeks is up, the offer will be accepted. The last months have just been a stalling tactic by Yahoo! to attract another bidder, which hasn't worked unfortunately for the people like us - who actually care about what happens to Yahoo!

I don't think MSFT will walk away. They will bluff about walking away, but at the end of the day, they'll increase their bid if they need to.
