		<description>Microsoft might have achieved better search market share results if they didn&#039;t have an advertising model that was a complete rip off. That is why Google is what it is today; Advertising models that weren&#039;t a rip off. Or at least provided opportunity for small business that didn&#039;t start with $1,000s of dollars of commitment.

Why spend a fortune buying Yahoo when you have the skills and resources to make a better product? We loose on this deal because the investment will simply consume cash that MS could have put into real development and therefore job creation. 

It&#039;s what management do when they realise that they were idiots for not listening to their staff and clients with big ears. Sure they will get advertising clients and perhaps even some of Yahoo&#039;s patented technologies but the big benefit will be delivered to Google. Where will Yahoo-7 (Australia) go if this deal goes ahead? Will they willingly become part of a place where 9-MSN live? I don&#039;t think so! They will be knock, knock, knocking on Google&#039;s door. 

And Google will have no shortage of willing staffers once the MS razor gang enter Yahoo.

Google should start now and double the HR and client service departments. ;)

		<description>Looks like Microsoft&#039;s timing is right on. Tommorow starts the shareholders election of board members. Maybe this is a MS run for the board--.
