So, do you think this is a good idea on Microsoft's part and do you think Yahoo will go for it?

[Frank4d]

It is a good idea if you owned Yahoo stock yesterday. It is up 45% so far today.

[GoblinCleaver]

I think they should sell for the simple fact that both are evil. Consolidating evils sounds better than letting them exist separately. Why not combine and become a great dark power! XD

LOL! The evil empire thing?

Shhhhh.... Not so loud... Bill has eyes everywhere. It's not safe to speak of this matter here...

[Jason Amison]

Personally, I say it's a bad idea.

Google are far too ahead now, and in my opinion Microsoft should part with them and not Yahoo.

Yahoo has been going slowly down bank for a few years now, do you really think they can it back?

It's a very good idea for Micro$oft, but not for Yahoo if they want to be a player...
But, it looks like they will be assimilated...Does anyone remember when the Yahoo developers wanted to release it in the wild, and Stanford had a fit?

My parents own Yahoo stocks . That being said, its only correct for me to want Yahoo to sell.

[mclarenvj]

shhh... i dnt like microsoft ....

[Geminiadam]

I think it will help them out.

[ACA529]

No... Microsoft will completely destroy it.

[D-Rock]

microsoft should say screw yahoo and try to at least partner with google. they make sooooo much more money than yahoo and on the other hand yahoo is starting to become a nuisance to most these days.

[Geek4Life]

For those who say Microsoft should partner with Google, I disagree, that would probably be one of the worst partnerships ever, because Bill would probably try to maintain too much control of the genius of Google, and as a result completely destroy it, and then we'd have to find a new SE to rally around (which, I guess, if it happens I'm ahead of the curve on that one, with a list of 300+ SEs compiled out of boredom).

[middigit]

7 for 7 against huh?

I think if yahoo sells, then the web is gonna be screwed - what's gonna happen to flickr and delicios? Yahoo mail is better than MSN for starters - slightly maybe, but still, i'm guessing that will go down the pan too. Fair enough i have gmail but i regularly use yahoo mail flickr and delicious all the time - I don't use hotmail, because it's really buggy as part of windows live. I think it's desperate move to battle google, and i think google wins out anyway - hands up those who use yahoo alone over google.

[psam3]

No! No! No! No No No! I do not want Microsoft messing with my Yahoo! mail!
