Hmmm, to match/offset Yahoo's Inktomi purchase, perhaps? Microsoft certainly has the money, but my guess is that they could beat down external providers to a lower cost than they could manage themselves. I guess it's the classic outsourcing tradeoff - what is 100% control worth, and can you do as good a job yourself vs. a focused specialist?

Thank You, rogerd (or should I say just Roger). So, I gather that You see it more likely that Microsoft instead would make an outsourcing deal with Fast.

Steven, welcome to raising the heartbeats here at the forum..(with such a thread title) I guess it could do no harm to buy some FAST shares. Even if no-one buys them, these rumours will always surface and feed the stock price.
