I'm not going to make my opinion known yet - but it is an interesting thread - almost evenly split.

If MS does acquire Yahoo, this would be the beginning of an oligopoly and ultimately we would have fewer portal choices. The only advantage i can see is combining the IM capabilities of Yahoo and MS messengers.

an interesting letter sent to its shareholders from Yahoo

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb 13, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today announced that it has sent a letter to its stockholders, outlining the reasons the Board believes that Microsoft's proposal significantly undervalues Yahoo! and is not in the best interests of Yahoo! stockholders.

I hope not.
I am phasing out my hotmail account. Never did like it.
Lately, I hardly get any junk mail through yahoo.
Used to be 20-30 a day. Switched to gmail. Now Yahoo mail gets maybe three junk mails a week, or less.

I think it's a good idea FOR M$, but I'm completely against it. I like Yahoo! and hope they won't be bought out.

no i seriously doubt that microsoft will ever merge with yahoo and if they do.. Google will win

I'm surprised that anybody knows what oligopoly means.

I had a yahoo account for 3 years. Though I created x amount of filters to keep junk and porn out, It became so flooded that I HAD to change my account. I've been using hotmail for 2 years now, and I've had no spam problems, yet.

Then again, I have a gmail account, too, and have no issues there either.

To me, using Microsoft is like going to Wal-Mart. You know they're cheap, and filled with frikkin idiot. Nevertheless, I somehow find myself going there, almost weekly, when I need to go get anything. ...Come to think of it, I was just there last night getting a pair of sweatpants.

i respect microsoft, not for vista but for xp, and C++ visual Basic. but i hate yahoo to the extreme, so if microsoft bought out yahoo, there next release would be asking you to download toolbars and IMs and just whole bunch of random yahoo crap that nobody really needs

Recent news confirmed that Yahoo Turned Down Microsoft's Request. The Reason? They're holding out for more money. Highest Bidder Takes All.

That's too bad.
I'm going to have to find somewhere else to play Crib and Euchre.

Well, the latest is that Yahoo! shareholders are preparing to sue because of the refusal to sell...

your browser's homepage...Google, Yahoo or MSN??
When I set up comcast as my ISP it naturally had comcast fan set as my browser's home page...I immidiately set up google as my home page...i wonder how many users have google vs. yahoo vs MSN as their homepage.
