If Microsoft acquires Yahoo, the deal may leave the pair's joint venture partnerships with PBL Network and the Seven Network on shaky ground.
Microsoft officially withdrew its offer to acquire Yahoo on Saturday but only after it threw an additional US$5 billion on the table.

On 1 February 2008, Microsoft made a US$44.6 billion bid for search giant Yahoo. Follow all the news about the deal with ZDNet.com.au.
Microsoft's efforts to reach some sort of arrangement with Yahoo have broken down again, Yahoo confirmed on Thursday.
A good merger always gets the pulse racing -- and Seven's takeover of Unwired could be shaping up to be one of the most interesting for a while.
Yahoo continues to struggle behind Google in the US but in Australia, it's a slightly different story -- NineMSN, the partnership between Kerry Packer's PBL and Microsoft, remains a major stumbling block for the online giant.
