"An estimate posted last week pegged the updated value of the offer at $29.50 per Yahoo share—a premium of less than 2%."

Yahoo's share price on its own merit is not worth $29 (they're worth $19 and given more time and shrinking market/earnings, they're worth even less), and MS's share price is worth more than $29.50 so this does not "substantially undervalues" Yahoo. If MS retracts their offer, Yahoo will sink again.

Yahoo should accept the offer, and then stop losing and get serious on challenging the Google monopoly.

I really don't want my ~10 (?) year old yahoo email address which Iove because it's ISP-agnostic and usable anywhere to come under the MS umbrella. :(

"undervalues"? the offer made the AMD-ATI deal look like a bargain. how much does yahoo think they're actually worth? 50% over their stock value?

The only good this whole scene did was to increase the stock price of Yahoo!
