Update: Today’s New York Post has more details.. Here are a couple choice quotes.

But the complexity of the different scenarios being discussed – which range from a Yahoo!-AOL tie-up that would outsource search advertising to Google, to a new company spawned from Yahoo!, Microsoft’s MSN assets and News Corp.’s MySpace – has got Wall Street hoping for the simpler Microsoft-Yahoo! merger to prevail.

Regulatory issues are also at the forefront of any deal between Microsoft, News Corp. (which publishes The Post) and Yahoo!, but sources said figuring out a structure for the $42 billion deal is a larger concern.
