It never occurred to me, but Microsoft buying eBay is something that could really happen.
Via ZDNet's Between the Lines blog:
Microsoft has $44 billion or so burning a hole in its pocket, but there's one little hitch: There are few companies that the software giant could buy to get scale quickly. Enter eBay. Enter speculation. Enter eBay as the acquisition target.
What makes it work? The ability to spin off PayPal and/or Skype to pay for the damn thing.
Question: What's the reserve on this auction?
