The internet portal’s co-founder and CEO Jerry Yang made the comment despite the fact Yahoo rejected a $33 (£21) a share offer from Microsoft back in May.
Mr Yang’s suggestion also came hours after Google pulled out of an internet advertising partnership with Yahoo.
“To this day the best thing for Microsoft to do is buy Yahoo,” said Mr Yang.
I’m personally not particularly fond of Yahoo. They always seem to be legging behind Google, not only when it comes to web mail. I can’t even remember the last time I used Yahoo’s web search and if Microsoft was to actually buy Yahoo, it wouldn’t necessarily mean a great boost now would it?
