Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo!
This is a move to try and take down Google.
I wonder if this will improve search engines, with the potential Yahoo!/MS (YahooSoft?) creating something better than Google, and Google rising to the challenge, and creating a search better than YahooSoft, and so on and so on.
If we end up with better searching, this is a great move. If we end up with less search engine options, it's a little sad.
