Miller Backs Microsoft Buyout Of Yahoo

Posted by John Carney, May 22, 2008, 4:49pm

Bill Miller, the Legg Mason fund manager who controls 5.4 percent of Yahoo, wants to see Microsoft buy the company. Halfway measures--such as a joint venture --don't interest him.

That would seem to put him squarely in Icahn's camp. But Miller's still being coy, saying he's undecided on how he'll vote in the proxy fight.
