lol
you just want to see a big honking war, admit it :)Google will lose this fight unless it comes out with an OS that can match MS in terms of ease of use.
Split Microsoft
Yes, Google deserves the competition. But, M$ has abused its monopoly power.A fair and reasonable solution would be to require M$ to split into 3 separate companies: OS, applications, and internet. Then, and only then, permit the internet company to buy Yahoo.

snake v. horse
A snake can try and eat a horse, but it will probably die in the attempt.Some may see this as an aggressive move by Microsoft. However I see it as a defensive move. Balmer can add up as well as anybody and he knows that on the current Google growth rate it will be bigger than Microsoft by 2010.
Microsoft _has_ to do something to keep some of the ad money from flowing into Google before it's to late.
If Yahoo accepts, Microsofts problems are only just beginning - ask Time Warner and AOL.
