Now the deal with Yahoo is temporary over. Baidu, the Chinese Google, seems to be the best prey of Microsoft. Comparing Yahoo and Baidu, MS would see least overlapping products and markets with Baidu. The market cap of Baidu is $11.8B on NASDAQ with US$224M revenue in 2007, whereas Yahoo is worth about $35B on NASDAQ with US$6,969M revenue in 2007. In addition, Baidu.com has great potential in the Chinese market rather in the saturated US market. Will the acquisition-hungry Microsoft go after Baidu??
