The fight for the millions of AOL users is on, and Microsoft(MSFT) and Google (GOOG) have been working Time Warner for months.

The skinny:

AOL will prabably accept Microsoft’s offer becuase they are willing to guarentee returns to the Time Warner (TWX) executives and stockholders. It seems that this will lower the risk for Time Warner, which is TimeWarner’s incentive for selling the AOL division; which has put a burden on management and stockholders since the it was acquired. The stock price for TimeWarner has gone from over $50 a share, to the current $17.76 per share with a P/E of 31.32.
