Microsoft never acquired Yahoo so you can't say it was a failed acquisition for that.
Why, if you try a thing and fail, it's not really a failure, because, you see, you haven't really done anything at all! You must believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Here's real life: Microsoft bid to acquire all outstanding shares of Yahoo! stock. This is a link to Microsoft's own press release announcing the bid:

As we know, the bid was rejected. Thus it was a failed acquisition.
