I'll be very interested in seeing how all this plays out for Microsoft. Their stock price went up 4%. Anybody know why?

The source news story says:

"Microsoft said it was not interested in 'rebidding' for all of Yahoo, sending its shares up more than 4 percent as investors showed relief that the company would not be paying too high a price for a deal they considered risky."
