And then there were two! If the rumors are true and the factions in Microsoft get there way, the battle for search engine supremacy could become a game with only 2 significant players, Google and MSN.

Yahoo has since re-buffed this idea. Another piece of gossip bits the dust.

I doubt this will happen...I couldn't see Yahoo wanting to sell.

Its not a bad Idea, Yahoo's talent and infrastructure along with Microsoft cash and at that point you can challenge google for search, because what Microsoft is doing is not working in the battle for search. If it does happen I don't think it will happen until next year after Vista comes out
