MICROSOFT and Yahoo! have discussed a possible partnership before, but now Yahoo!’s woes and Microsoft’s unsolicited $44.6-billion bid to buy the Internet portal might mean this scenario is just that much closer to becoming a reality.
How do you feel about a Microsoft-Yahoo! (Microhoo?) merger? Do you think that would make Yahoo! cool again, and that it would finally make Microsoft cool? 
Anyway, you can also check out INQUIRER.net reporter Erwin Oliva’s story, “Yahoo! board responds to Microsoft bid.”

While this will definitely place Microsoft in a position to go head to head against Google, it will probably never happen. Not at $44.6 billion, at least.

if this happen, i would expected the yahoo popularity to go down with microsoft, well, admit it or not, Microsoft is a convicted monopoly, that and with its malpractice will certainly put yahoo in a lot more image problem. But i would expect yahoo to have some big financial boost if this continue.

If this would happen I may discontinue my yahoo mail and my ym, etc. And start using Google applications.
Hmm? I wonder what’s the next company that Microsoft will buy.
I heard MS already got friendster.

I think it’s just one of microsoft’s desperate move towards reclaiming the market from apple which is now extremely popular. What I think microsoft should do is address itself in making some productive and “working” OS rather than just buying company after company.
