Microsoft offers to buy Yahoo

Well, that seems pretty interesting. Now it will be Google vs Microsoft in webapps (email, documents, web portals, etc).

RE: Microsoft offers to buy Yahoo

I have become pretty reliant on googles products to be fair, except for msn messenger pretty much every other product by yahoo/ms i could use, i go for the google alternative.
It will be interesting to see how things develop though, i'm sure they could create some pretty tough competition to googles range.

Yeah, I use Google documents for example for documents, and for searches most of the time. I do like Windows Live Mail more than GMail though.

RE: Microsoft offers to buy Yahoo

My school had the ingenious idea of building computers without optical drives to save cost, and then somehow preventing you from being able to add attachments to e-mails in hotmail. This was before virtually everyone had a portable usb pendrive too, but gmail worked so i kind of switched over then, i still do check my hotmail accounts but g-mail is my every day preference.

Here is Paul Thurrott's view on it. Now, Yahoo Live!, that's just funny. Tongue

Yahoo needs to take some action. They're trailing behind their rivals.

RE: Microsoft offers to buy Yahoo

I agree, especially that they now are apparently putting "AdSence" on Yahoo Search, which is giving them like 90% of the Seach Engine Market.
