]]> <![CDATA[Microsoft plans to offer Yahoos $1.5 billion if they'll stay with the company]]> So that's about $100K for each Y!?

Of course the devil is in the details. Is this an up front lump sum? Seems very unlikely. How long does it take MSFT to pay it out? Over 1 year, it's great, over 5 years, it's much less impressive.
