Microsoft has offered to buy the search engine company Yahoo for USD 44.6bn in cash and shares. The offer, contained in a letter to Yahoo's board, is 62% above Yahoo's closing share price on Thursday.

It has been struggling in recent years to compete with Google, which has also been a competitor to Microsoft. Update: More here.
