Re:Very bad idea (Score 1)

I think this is a very bad idea. I could see why MS would want this merger to happen, since MSN isn't very good. As far as Yahoo goes, I think this would lose them a lot users. I use Yahoo from time to time and I would be less likely to use it if MS was in control of it. I don't see the need to consolidate search engines. I like the ability to use a variety of search engines. But from MS prospective, they know they have little chance of competing with Google. In the long run, this may help MS since they would gain some market share by purchasing Yahoo, but the overall quility of Yahoo would decrease.
