Microsoft could instantly give google a run for the money. This is a perfect fit if they could just get a deal done. It makes so much business sense. I have no chips in this pot, but it sure would give microsoft a huge lift in the global search business instantly. Something you just can't grow from scratch. I wish the best of luck to both msft and yhoo. Steve and Jerry, do the deal its the right thing to do for both companies.
VincentClement I've never laughed harder after reading your post. Yahoo and MSN combined have almost 28% of the search market versus the 66% Google has (according to Hitwise).
Don't forget that Yahoo has a much bigger share than Microsoft in the search market. The only way I see this deal having a sliver of hope is MS dumping MSN and handing over the search business to the Yahoo people. And I just don't see that happening.
