Fool Video Take: Microsoft Deals With Google

22 Recommendations

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) recently announced that it was acquiring online ad company aQuantive (Nasdaq: AQNT) in the largest deal in Microsoft's history. Is it a good deal for Microsoft or a Google-induced (Nasdaq: GOOG) act of desperation? What will the deal mean for competitors? What will it mean for Microsoft shareholders? I put these questions to Motley Fool analyst Tim Beyers.  

Microsoft is an active value-priced selection in the Inside Value newsletter service.

aQuantive was recommended to Rule Breakers subscribers five months ago at $25.14 per share. If you want to learn why it made the cut -- and read up on other potential growth stock winners -- sign up for a free 30-day trial subscription today.

Tim Beyers owns shares of aQuantive. Mac Greer doesn't. Neither of them own shares of any other company mentioned here. The Fool has a disclosure policy.
