It doesn’t seem like Microsoft is too worried about not getting the Yahoo! advertising as was clearly displayed by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at a news conference concerning the media mogul.

Speaking to a group of nearly 2,000 Microsoft enthusiasts at a technology conference in Seattle, Ballmer asked how many people use Yahoo as their primary Internet search engine.

Only a handful of arms went up, with the majority raising their hands for Google Inc.

After the tepid response for Yahoo’s search, Ballmer said jokingly: “Wow, we offered 31 bucks a share.”
