As we indicated over the weekend, the Yahoo! Board of Directors has decided to reject the unsolicited Microsoft bid for the company. And the reason given, as was reported last weekend, was undervaluation.

Oh Gawd no! Definitely rather see it in the hands of Microsoft than "internet for morons" AOL, but better still if they maintain independence and go no further than offerring "powered by Yahoo" facilities (to AOL or anyone else).
