Yahoo has not reached a decision about&#160;Microsoft&#39;s acquisition offer&#160;and is considering &quot;a wide range of potential strategic alternatives,&quot; Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang said in an e-mail to employees on Wednesday.In the e-mail, which was addressed to &quot;yahoos&quot; and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Yang said the Yahoo board is still reviewing the deal and will &quot;take the time it needs to do it right.&quot;&quot;Our board is thoughtfully evaluating a wide range of potential strategic alternatives in what is a complex and evolving landscape,&quot; he wrote in the e-mail, typed in all lowercase letters.Microsoft made its unsolicited bid for Yahoo last Friday, offering to pay $44.6 billion for the company, or 62 percent over Yahoo&#39;s closing share price Thursday. The deal would greatly expand Microsoft&#39;s search and advertising business and could help it to compete better with Google online.Yahoo is understood to be lukewarm on the offer. The company hopes a rival suitor will emerge with a counteroffer or that it can forge a deal with Google that will allow it to remain independent, according to Wednesday&#39;s Wall Street Journal newspaper, which cited unnamed sources.However, analysts have said it is unlikely another company could match Microsoft&#39;s sizeable offer, and a business deal between Yahoo and Google could raise antitrust concerns because of Google&#39;s already dominant market position.In the e-mail, Yang thanked the Yahoo staff for staying focused on their work amid the turmoil. The company has hired &quot;top advisors&quot; to assist it through the process and is focused on maximizing value for its shareholders, he said.
