Software giant Microsoft has dropped its three-month-old bid to buy
internet firm Yahoo because the two sides cannot agree on an acceptable
sale price.

Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer formally withdrew the offer in a
letter to Yahoo chief executive Jerry Yang.

Possibly bad news if you are a Yahoo shareholder, but great news as far as
