What about this?
Economists don't like monopolies. That should not be mixed with monopolistic power, even if there is similarities. The consumer, (read online shopper) and advertiser suffer.

I also read this kind of post from other forum but it's true that Microsoft will offer billions of dollars to Yahoo. Sounds a new start of good SE competition.
Isn't google a monopoly on web search? Most of the worldwide searches are done trough it.
A strong competitor for google would balance the search market.
PS: Here is it on Reuters: Microsoft bids $44.6 billion to buy Yahoo | U.S. | Reuters
Far from in my opinion and less than Coca Cola is on the market for refreshment. If Microsoft buys Yahoo, it will get an even stronger postion on the desktop and online software market.
May be you have to be an economist to knwo the difference between:
- Monopol.
- Duopol.
- Oligopol.
- Monopolistic competition.
- Market / price leader.
- Etc.

I am beginning to welcome anything to combat Google at this point.
Go YaSoft! or is it MicroHoo!
Yahoo widgets, even if that is marginally important and it was not my main point.

I know it wasn't, but I was making the point that dominating the desktop because of this merger was a little bit of a reach. They already do that albeit eroding.
However in my view monopolies don't last long anymore. We are hypersensitive to them for one and believe me the litigation will begin immediatly whether based in fact or not. Second there is nothing we like more in this country than to take down a King
fuzzy oligopolies and duopolies (sp?) are a another story
