With news that Microsoft is going to acquire Yahoo! Google has taken further steps to crush its opponent’s buying power.

It said Microsoft had previously sought “to establish proprietary monopolies”.

Microsoft made an unsolicited offer for Yahoo on Friday, and Yahoo has said it is considering the proposal.

“Microsoft’s hostile bid for Yahoo raises troubling questions,” said David Drummond, Google’s senior vice president for corporate development and chief legal officer.

This goes to show that Google is troubled by the bid judging by the use of the word “hostile”. On the other hand, could this be a start to fight against the large hands of Google? Or just a cutthroat method by Microsoft?

It sounds interesting that the buyout would result in a name called Microshoo. Perhaps, the “shoo” part is to shoo away the giant?
