This would be interesting. Microsoft hasn't done anything cutting edge since Windows 95 and eBay is completely out of touch with it's sellers. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
Shares of eBay Inc. were up more than 5% yesterday amid market speculation that part or all of the e-commerce leader would be bought, or that the company was doing some buying of its own. Seven Summits Strategic Investments in a brief note yesterday attributed the share rise to a Wall Street rumour Microsoft Corp., with a market value of around US$266-billion, wants to buy eBay, which is valued at about US$37-billion. Microsoft was not immediately available for comment and eBay spokesman Hani Durzy told Reuters his company does not comment on rumours and speculation.
