biases notwithstanding, my gut tells me a merger between the two is a bad idea. for both companies.

my take:
44 billion is a huge amount. microsoft may be desperate. competition or not, if this bid will go through it will stress microsoft out. maybe a year before real results become visible. changing logos on websites doesn’t count. yahoo! will slowly loose its identity which is not good. imagine suits in the fun room. will there be a fun room? services other than search may or will suffer. microsoft is a business and if something doesn’t perform it gets frozen. and as the ashes cool, some former yahoos will form a company and offer something that will make this bidding exercise pointless.

leave it be.
