Yahoo + MS = Failure
Yahoo has been a mess for years. What is that Yahoo does that no one else can do? How is combining a failing business model (Yahoo) to another failing business model (MSN, which is craptacular) going to "catch" Google?
I stopped using Yahoo around 2000. I rarely see email from yahoo accounts and Yahoo groups. In my life, Yahoo ceased to exist and has no purpose.
So this will change nothing, I will continue to not use Yahoo just like I don't use MS Live, Windows Live or MS search.
That 44+ billion dollars could have been better spent getting SQL 2008 out the door on time for a change or developing apps that run well on Vista boxes. The Yahoo acquisition is another distraction for MS and will be money ill-spent IMHO.
