    They just refuses to the recent offer. I'm pretty sure, they are taking it seriously. Its a serious business, everyone knows that. And besides, Yahoo got the point that the offer given to them was not that appropriate.

    Edit: That's only in my own opinion. :D

    As serious as you can ever think of, I would think there are teams of investment bankers, lawyers etc to lay down the plans and the strategies for Yahoo, you are talking about billions of dollars in transaction for this take over. It is as serious as one can ever be.

    I think the ball is in Microsoft court, Yahoo have reject the offer and want Microsoft to come out with new offer. If Microsoft come out with a good offer and Yahoo reject it then, we can say that yahoo is not serious or dont want a merge with Microsoft.

    Nope Microsoft would proceed with a hostile take over appealing directly to Yahoo shareholders, at current market situation, I seriously doubt Microsoft would up the offer.

    I think Yahoo is taking this offer a little too serious.

    They have to, it is a legitimate and legal offer as well as being the most attractive offer to date. The board is responsible to its share holders to consider their best interest.

    I hope they can come to an agreement soon as I think this merge will be great.
