I can't think of a time ever when someone paid for a major net asset with real money. Its always paid for in stock.

I think paying $2B in stock would be a lot easier to swallow than $2B in cash.

Excite cost @home nearly $7B in stock. $2B in stock for altavista is not unreasonable by that standard.
