While there has been a storm of columnists, bloggers and self-styled pundits who have talked the Microsoft-Yahoo merger to death, very few of them have considered what a pair-up of these two companies could mean for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office.

While there has been a storm of columnists, bloggers and self-styled pundits who have talked the Microsoft-Yahoo merger to death, very few of them have considered what a pair-up of these two companies could mean for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. I took up that topic with my ZDNet colleague Larry Dignan in this interview.
We discussed:
- Microsoft's current strategy in online applications and how it could change it if bought Yahoo
- Whether Microsoft could flip a switch and immediately control the market for online productivity software
- Whether Yahoo's mobile software combined with Windows Mobile could take on Google Android
- If a Microsoft-Yahoo merger could become a distraction for Microsoft's software business
