And of course they're going to cry "foul" while they acquire something good and destroy it like they do everything else. And they turn out crappy products. Windows is a virus. Vista is a joke. If they want to acquire Yahoo, you might as well kiss it goodbye. Google will win. Only because of superior products, technology, superior marketing, loyal uers, and true innovation. Apple couldn't kill Microsoft...maybe Google can. Microsoft just sucks. And of course they’re going to cry “foul” while they acquire something good and destroy it like they do everything else.

More like a majority. Even Microsoft contends that a 90% desktop operating system market share is NOT a monopoly. I don't see how they can complain. Since when is a 58.4% market share a monopoly?

If Yahoo wants to sign its death warrant, it will partner with Google. (Not that any deal has a hope of being approved.) MSFT may be an imperfect marriage, but with a litle therapy it may work. Pertnering with GOOG however, would be like marrying the person who has been cheating on you and taking your money for years - and expecting that things will change just because you are married. Not going to happen.

Give me a break!!! Consumers have a multitude of FREE options to choose from when searching. GOOG's mousetrap is better and people flock to it. GOOG isn't mandating consumers or ad buyers to use their product because of some sort of monopoly on search...it's just a much better product and people use it more then anyone else. It isn't a monopoly in the same sense that (AT&T) there is only one telephone company with lines in the ground. What am I missing!!!!!!!!! Google isn’t a Monopoly!!!! Give me a break!!!
