Your post really contradicts each other, first you ask why Microsoft is mad to buy Yahoo and then say Microsoft has not enough money. If Microsoft has not enough money, would it pay $40 billion to buy Yahoo?
Microsoft is mad to buy yahoo so that it can compete with google in the search engine and online advertising opportunity. Microsoft also needs yahoo since it can give google a stiff competition and reduce the popularity of the google as the internet icon. Microsoft and Google are the two leading giants who are dominanting the internet world.
google is no. 1 Search Engine and is giving though competition to Microsoft. So to empower its strength and be no. 1 in internet world. Microsoft needs yahoo badly.
Google is unbeatable by yahoo or by msn. If y and m combined than there may create a tough competitions in search engines and break the rule of G.
