Microsoft wants to buy yahoo, would you see this as a good thing or a bad thing?

I believe it would be healthy for both organizations but no idea how it would affect searching on the internet or where i will be searching from in the future.

only time can tell!

Yahoo so far said that MS didn't offer enough money.

No... if Yahoo sells I will refuse @yahoo.com and I will stop using the Search engine... MS is too powerful as it is... I'm not supporting an expansion like that.

I actually like and respect Microsoft for some things they do....there are a lot of MS haters that take on things they don't need to.

Yes so it can become a bad habit, i don't care i do it everyday, twice sometimes!!

I don't think yahoo will ever sell, they're getting really big, themselves, at least i hope they don't, but we all know, for the right price, anything can be bought. :)
