"Microsoft Corp. is in talks to buy DoubleClick Inc., the Internet
advertising company owned by private-equity firm Hellman & Friedman
LLC, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unidentified people familiar
with the situation.

DoubleClick hired Morgan Stanley to explore its options, including a
possible stock-market listing, the Journal said, citing the people, who
indicated there are other potential suitors. Hellman & Friedman is
seeking at least $2 billion, almost double the $1.1 billion it paid for the
New York-based company in 2005, the newspaper said. "


Great RoR for Hellman & Friedman....

Crappy news for the Windows users....


Looks like MS want some of Google's ad generated income.....gee how soon
before "doubleclick enablement" is a WGA "critical
update"?
