Microsoft bids on Yahoo...

Yes, it sounds very likely that this fusion is going to pass. but it's not going to endear Microsoft to anyone who's thinking they are moving too close to a monopoly in some areas of system software (thinking of the running tug-of-war between Microsoft and the European Union Court where the software giant was fined almost 500 million euro, more than 600 million dollars: )

Wonder what the new corporate name would be - Microhoohoo?

Miscrosoft is not endeared by many now anyway. si it should not make any difference but the additional income from Yahoo will insure Bill Gates can support his family LOL!!!! everylittle extra bit of money helps these days espeicaily since he is NO longer the riches man in theworld, he dropped to 2nd place poor guy, now only worth $52 or 53 billoin, but no longertherichest after all those years, see eveything has competition. even beingthe rches in the world
