I hope not. We have already too little competition here. If Microsoft buys Yahoo, there will be less contenders and that won't be good for users.

I agree, call out the anti-trust watchdogs on this one.

I agree with this point. Can't have too many of the Internet's eggs in one basket.

To little competition for what? There is a plethora of search engines out there as can be seen just by checking your logs. There is nothing these two companies offer that many other companies don't also offer.

This might help challenge the stranglehold Google has over many people and businesses.

I think the deal will go through since Yahoo is laying off people, they need money now, Microsoft and Yahoo have been talking about this for years now.

It will be good for webmasters also, Live.com has in the last few months been sending more traffic to many sites while Yahoo is having a difficult time holding a decent search index going back to the Big Daddy era when Google and even MSN were all having problems due to the fast growth of the web and spam webmasters.

Challenge one monopoly by allowing another to be created? Not too sure about that. Though I see where you are coming from.
