SAN JOSE (CN) - In the third federal class-action derivative lawsuit, shareholders say the entrenched directors of Yahoo! failed to properly consider Microsoft's $45 billion buyout offer, so they can continue to enrich themselves at shareholders' expense.Theplaintiffs say Yahoo shouldaccept the offer.
