You heard wrong. It's true that MS are after Yahoo! but no deal has been made. The US Government will also be taking a close interest before any possible merger/take over.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=apwKV7nZS_rE&refer=home Yahoo asked Microsoft to raise the bid. It isn't 'sold'...yet.
Are you absolutely sure? if not please get your facts straight, you shocked a lot of people here. Pls post the news article
There is no link because it is not a deal. They are in negotiations and that is it. There is no deal until all parties agree and their is approval from the Government.
