Jim Goldman of CNBC reports on the timeline of the proposed Microsoft/Yahoo! deal. According to sources, Yahoo! ignored Microsoft much of the time. And, though the Yahoo! board was willing to go to $37, Yahoo! Co-Founders Jerry Yang and David Filo both still wanted $38.

A source close to Microsoft says on Saturday, May 3, both Yahoo Co-Founders Jerry Yang and David Filo flew to Seattle to meet with Steve Ballmer and Kevin Johnson personally. They were there to deliver a message: that Yahoo's board was willing to come down to $37, but that Yang's and Filo's price was still at $38.
