MicroHoo?

Boo - Hiss. M$ has made an offer buy Yahoo!

This is awful. I was just starting to like Yahoo! again. They were starting to improve their email, and I find their movie site useful.

Microsoft could ruin a good product here. Live mail is a small improvement over hotmail, but the ads at the top make it almost unusable. Never liked the result of LiveSearch. Yahoo! was slighter better, but I still use gProducts mostly.

I can't imagine this doing anything besides stifling innovaton.
