"REDMOND, Wash. -- Microsoft Corp. called Yahoo Inc.'s rejection of its unsolicited $44.6 billion bid to buy the struggling search engine operator "unfortunate" late Monday but signaled it won't give up its efforts to acquire the company.
"It is unfortunate that Yahoo! has not embraced our full and fair proposal to combine our companies," Microsoft said in a statement.

You know damn well MS is not going to let this go. They'll keep trying to complete that deal. I don't think they'll raise the offer but some time might make the board reconsider.
