Hence technically can not be called cheap or free. But when it come to user it is almost free and hence from Microsoft's end of the telescope it is free. And hence a hard nut to crack.

I think MSFT+YHOO is not only about search. Yes, search appears to be the the no#1 thing today. But it is about cloud computing in total. Its about all services over Internet which one can monetize. No points guessing that cloud computing is where technology is headed & search is only the doorway. But the final price is never for the door its for the entire house. If your address is well known

In the most unexpected turn of event Yahoo tries to tie a knot with AOL to do away with MSFT!! I can help but feel amused by this idea. It would be the most bizarre way of claiming that we are gonna revive Yahoo. Saying or writing anything against this idea would not be enough.

What can 44.6Billion USD could mean? Well, for Microsoft it can mean the cost of survival. But this bid for Yahoo, make one wonder, Why don't Microsoft buy some new companies in place of dying Yahoo? Would 44.6$ not enough to create a parallel and better Yahoo? Will the much needed integration even possible? Will Microsoft play by rules if it gets Yahoo? Many more such questions would get
