This is to compete with Google? Don't they have MSN?

yahoo would probably incorporate itself with MSN and become an official web browser that comes on your computer when you buy it...good move for Microsoft...

I wish Microsoft offered me 44.6 Billion for something. Nice payday for everyone involved with Yahoo and a nice move by Microsoft. They are one step closer to controlling the world.

Why would there be? There's still competition with Google.

Yeah that's exactly it, it's just whether or not they feel Microsoft will prevent things from being competitive in the market.

I'm sure it'll be just like youtube and myspace...nothing really that changed...just really ownership transfer stuff.

yeah. ridiculous.
i'd rather have google in control than microsoft.
google fosters innovation and rewards it.
microsoft puts out ****.

google on the otherhand, still isn't a fave of mine. but. way lesser of two evils.
there needs to be some seeeeeeeeeerious competition going on.
