Ballmer rebuffs Google's anticompetitive rant

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer rebuffed Google's accusations that an acquisition of Yahoo would be anticompetitive.
The bid was made public Friday, prompting the response from Google over the weekend. Ballmer Monday at a news conference ceded ground to Microsoft's arch rival in order to justify his company's $44.6 billion cash-and-stock offer for Yahoo, which if accepted would fall under the scrutiny of U.S. and European regulators.
