What do you think about Microsoft Offering over 46 Billion in cash and Stock to yahoo, They claim that Advertising Earns 40 billion in ads alone and is estimated to double by 2009 to 80 Billion +

Good for Yahoo. I actually like using Yahoo. I think their news is easy to navigate. Yahoo is strong to stand on their own.

I honestly think Yahoo should go for it. They could learn a lot from Microsoft and vice-versa. I think if Microsoft did try and play Monopoly with the web then a few high up people would have something to say about it.

I don't understand why Microsoft want to basically buy everything that ever gets big online, first Facebook now Yahoo. To me it just seems a little fishy, sure they will be buying them to make money like every company does. However I think there is something else I've not been a big fan of Microsoft since their Stealthy updates last year. To me they are no longer a trusted organisation.

If you think about it Yahoo have a lot of products which are competing with Microsoft. For instance their Messenger which is a close competitor to their Live Messenger. Just don't know if I trust the child of Bill Gates anymore...
