    If yahoo is able to make some deal with google in terms of ad networks it makes a deal with Yahoo very unlikely.

    I think Microsoft will take offer Yahoo but at a cheaper price than what they offered before.

    seriously, IMO, I think MS should rather spend 44b $$ revamping their search engine solution.

    Good and bad:

    Good, you get an instant search engine which works fantastically and you get to use it ASAP

    Bad, 44b$ out of your coffers? Gee, investors would think twice..

    Microsoft dropped the bid for Yahoo. It was a bad idea anyways.

    If Microsoft buys Yahoo hopefully they will be able to make Yahoo stronger to give
    google some competition.

    Hi

    If ms buy yahoo, then definitely, there will be a problem for google.

    Because yahoo still have the most traffic in the market. If MS buy yahoo then MS would have all the traffic of Yahoo and can give good competition to Google. But.............

    To Beat google is not kid game. It is not necessary that MS can beat google with Yahoo.

    Thanks

    the two combined won't be much of a competition for goole unless they do something with their search engines and create something to compete with adsense/adwords.

    I think anything can change in this world. More you work ,more you win. That is the same case with microsoft. I dont think for just buying yahoo , microsoft can win google.

    If Microsoft Buys Yahoo,

    Probably then only one search engine will be there and that is google. Currently there are two google and yahoo.

    I totally agree. Microsoft will kill Yahoo by making bad decisions.

    It would actually be a major coup if MS does buy Yahoo. Unfortunately that does not seem to be a possibility now.

    If it buys yahoo, then I am sure it will bring competition for google and we will see many more acquisitions and mergers
