    Not going to happen

    Microsoft is worth $230 Billion, with $37 Billion in cash on hand, while google is worth $160 Billion with $23 billion in cash on hand, at best it would be a merger. Then you have google's ownership structure. Where google owners have a different class of shares which enables them to have 10 votes for every share they own, on top of that Eric Schmidt really hates Microsoft.

    I don't think so, Google has far enough working for a quality searches unlike Yahoo, they haven't also update to make a good searches.

    Just for your information, VW has a share in Porsche, also VW is the owner of Audi, Skoda and Seat.
    BMW purchased mini cooper and Rover (UK brands)
    Ford (up to 2009) purchased Land Rover, Jaguar and Mazda
    Nissan has a big share in Renault

    Companies who are in stock markets these things are very possible.

    Google is a very reliable business and has a pretty much guaranteed long term business future. I doubt they would be sold to anyone anytime soon as with the economic climate, people are looking for stable incomes, not fortune investments.

    They will probably give a backlink from google.com to bing.com because of the PR:D

    And vice versa, it would be a powerhouse, although to be honest, type either of them in any search and they aint gonna get any higher than 1st to be honest, which they already have.
