it might eat into Google’s market share, but wont cause a major scare. Google built up its consumer base over a period of time. If you ask me, i will not switch to Bing even if it does give me results better than Google search. Simply because i dont trust Microsoft. Period.

Not that Google is a saint, they also invade on my privacy, but i still prefer to remain with the lesser evil.

There are some things that Microsoft has no expertise on, no matter its financial muscle. It better stick to making bloated Operating Systems. That’s what its good at.

Microsoft+yahoo are still 2-3 years behind Google. When you can attract the best talent on the planet, you can do wonders.

Good one with the last line Sriram :)

The step is definetely in line with the philosphy, “if u cant beat them, join them” to compete with a bigger adversary.
The deal sure looks like a win-win for both Yahoo and Microsoft, but the harsh truth is that Google is the market leader by huge margin.
So even with these two folks clubbed together, i don think they can get google worried atleast for sometime.And then given the Google guys, they will come up something that will tilt the fortunes back in their favour:)
That’s a google fanboy for u:)
