Microsoft's chief executive officer, Steve Ballmer, has said that the software giant has a long way to go to compete with Google when it comes to search and advertising.
In these eBay days, buyer's remorse is increasingly common. Less common is the remorse of the unbought a sensation now widely reported among major Yahoo shareholders in the wake of Ballmer's retreat.
While speaking in Moscow, Microsoft CEO and Yahoo suitor Steve Ballmer said, "Yahoo was never the strategy we were pursuing, it was a way to accelerate our online advertising business... We will spend money on some acquisitions. You can do a whole lot of things with $50 billion."
Google seems to want special treatment on Internet Explorer, according to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer today said that Microsoft was "not interested" in making a new offer for internet company Yahoo, despite Yahoo's share price currently sitting at less than half what Microsoft initially offered.

In a rare joint interview, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer discuss ad-supported software, the battles against Sony and Google, and what's so great about the upcoming Vista.
With Yahoo apparently off the table, what's Microsoft's back-up plan? Try again for Yahoo or go for a new target?
Apple has captivated the general public with the iPhone, but has it convinced the business world to take the plunge?
