    After nearly a year spent seeking alternatives, Yang believes a deal with Microsoft is still the best option.

    Yang also said he was disappointed at Google's decision to walk away from the search pact. The two companies signed the deal in June when Yahoo was looking for ways to build an independent growth strategy.

    The search deal was expected to add $800 million in annual revenue for Yahoo.

    But Google, concerned that the US Department of Justice would block the agreement on antitrust grounds, decided to withdraw from the partnership on Wednesday.

    Responding to a question about whether he had any regrets about stepping into the CEO role last year, Yang said: "I don't regret a moment of what happened even though it's not been the most fun thing."
