At Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's bidding, proxy solicitation firm Innisfree yesterday began calling Yahoo shareholders to ready them for a fight to replace Yahoo's board, the New York Post reports. Over the weekend, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and the Yahoo board said it would take at least $40 a share for Microsoft to buy the company.
