Microsoft's plans to buy Yahoo! didn’t go through back in 2008. A bid of $44.8 billion was made back then but experts say that the value of the company has dropped to roughly $18 million now. A bunch of companies are looking at Yahoo! and Microsoft is likely the one with the deepest pockets. A Reuters source has said that Microsoft is looking to take over Yahoo! once again.

Some of the potential buyers are Alibaba and DST Global, a Russian investment firm.
