Microsoft Might Buy AOL

There are rumors that Microsoft could be buying AOL to reduce the number of major search portal players down to just them Vs Yahoo.

"While there is strong strategic rationale behind such a deal, [it] doesn't seem likely," said Clayton Moran, an analyst for Benchmark Co., in an interview with Reuters. "We think Time Warner pursued a sale of AOL prior to spinning it out and wasn't able to find an interested enough buyer."
