However, MSFT has many products and services to offer personal and small business and Google is just another search engine at the end of the day. After market close Friday a story was broke to of the nearly $1Billion piracy ring Microsoft broke and the Feds are VERY happy about this sting that was going on some years, and this will be feather in MSFT's hat so anyone whining anti-trust issues like Google's ill-attempt in this merger, I believe will show favor with the US government like before, and nothing will come of any such anti-trust measures as MSFT and its technology has caught a major international piracy group opertaing out of China & Taiwan. Like it or not, after the last anti-trust matter some years ago, a deal was made with MSFT and US Govt to integrate "keys" or big brother features in all software produced so the Feds can "quietly" monitor traffic and computer usage of anyone they deem a threat to national security or ties to porn rings or other feloneous crimes....
MSFT will benefit Yahoo immemsely with this merger and overshadow Google in time by doing so and quite easily Google stock fall 80% or more at that point. And with the new paradigm change we will see from this economic and housing collapse, Yahoo will survive with MSFT buying them, while Google I believe could very well go the way of many former old large cap firms once at the top of their game, and then through economic turmoils, saw them disappear.
MSFT has money and made an offer to buy another corp and this is very legal. Corps buy corps all the time. Google crying anti-trust is worthless because Google has not stepped up to the plate nor can as I see it to buy Yahoo themselves. Google is overstretched and many are not aware of this!... Besides Google trying to build these enviro friendly database centers around the USA, they have quietly been spending $Hundreds of Millions of their cash exploring getting into the power generation industry which is a place they ought not tread nor have the experience or skills to do so, and not only is contradictory to Google's mantra of being enviro-friendly, but it also will be the demise of Google in time anyway if they do go that route in a field and industry they absolutely nothing about!
