I think his strategy would be to get a majority stake in Yahoo and then forcing the Yahoo board to sell it off to Microsoft..

Looks like the Yahoo and Microsoft search deal is getting closer. Even Jerry Yang is now out of the picture.

I do believe the deal with Microsoft will now push through. This should have happened months ago.
