If Microsoft buys Yahoo, I wouldn't keep that account for longer than it takes Microsoft's ink to dry.

THat's the first thing they need to fix. It sucks. While everyone else is upgrading their sites, yahoo has been slacking. You know that Microsoft tried buying Yahoo last year and was rebuffed right? Plus the rumors have been going on for a year that microsoft would buy yahoo. They just finally pulled the trigger again since Yahoo's stock is in the toilet. Don’t touch Flickr?

Yahoo being one of the largest online companies (they have way more than you're thinking about) I don't want to lose them :( I hope they pass on the deal and continue to do their own thing.... as for Microshaft, why don't they go buy Booble or something? @IAN

Micryrosofhoot LOL!

I imagine that they'd keep both companies in name and not create some sort of Micyarosofhoot Frankenstein. But then it begs the questions, what would consumers go for: Hotmail or Yahoo Mail? Live Search or Yahoo Search? Microsoft product X or Yahoo product Y? Microsoft has always been a source of confusion for me, so this fits their MO perfectly.

About time thats what!! Microsoft really are going to move into a strong position with this purchase, Yahoo have some technologies and brands which could really benefit Microsoft e.g. Flickr. With Microsofts new OS apparently centered around Windows Live and other MS online services it could bring a excellent user experience for everybody. Well what can be said about this!!
