http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/feb08/02-01CorpNewsPR.mspx I didn't even read the article, i don't even want to. I really liked some of Yahoo's services, i am really hoping nothing changes, but i can't see that happening, as well, i bet the Yahoo won't be Yahoo after a while ether...
*cough* abuse of monopoly *cough* antitrust *cough* i have not read TFA, but i have seem a few others (digg / slashdot etc) Is Micro$oft not eating into enough markets? Surely its in out best interests to have 3 major search engines (thats if you include M$ as a major search engine)... Micro$oft and Yahoo and more than capable of taking on Google individually, all they have to do is provide a batter service... this is the internet ffs, there are no 'retail locations' if you have a web site the number of visitors you have is based on how good your service is and how well known you are (and if you provide a good service word of mouth / keyboard will spread your name around very quickly).
