"It appears that Microsoft has decided it's time they own a video streaming website. Orange, the current owners of the video streaming site, have been quoted as saying 'I think it makes a lot of sense for us, as for Microsoft, to reach an accord that would be above all a partnership.' Yahoo tried to purchase DailyMotion last year, however the French Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg blocked the deal.

Orange's Chief Executive Stephane Richard said that while no agreement had been made yet, he is 'confident' that the companies could come to some arrangement. Whatever the terms may be, Orange will retain a majority stake in the company."
