Microsoft and Yahoo!

Microsoft's hostile bid against Yahoo!? I couldn't say it better than Google says it, right here:

My ISP is SBC/Yahoo! for DSL. If it becomes SBC/Microsoft, I'll have to switch. Having watched Microsoft co-opt (is "steal" perhaps too strong a word?) standard after standard through out the 1990's, and seeing how Vista has essentially become "Fat Elvis," I think that company's gone as far as it needs to go. The purchase of Yahoo! might very well be the knockout punch for a (somewhat) fair and open Internet.

We'll see!
