If M$ was to acquire Yahoo I could see them rewriting the base code to asp.net (from php) thereby bringing the whole search engine to a crawl just to prove that they could write a mainstream search engine in asp that contends with Google.

We all know that M$ has no reservations about ‘borrowing’ features and innovations from their open source counterparts but isn’t it against their rules to actually use them legitimately?

I doubt they have realized that the top competitors in the software world that extends beyond proprietary lock in thrive on open source development (such as google).

If M$ wins the bid, get ready to see yahoo become the next half-ass ad revenue generating garbage that their current search engine is.

I don’t care about the search aspect of this, like 95% of the world is. Yahoo is very open-source friendly though – they fund a lot of projects too.

So, I’d be really glad if they can escape the buy.

I sure hope m$ doesn’t manage to acquire Yahoo!, that would mean I would have to ditch the last couple things I do use from them.
