I think the Yahoo board will have a very tough next 2 years. They did stupid things to avoid the deal. It might have seemed very clever at the time. It was nothing more than a panic reaction. Yahoo can't get where it wants to get on it's own, but Google is not their friend whatever they think. I hope for their sake that my gut feeling is wrong.

As a longtime Yahoo! user, I fear that Microsoft is buying out Yahoo! simply to eliminate the competition, not out of an interest to acquire Yahoo!'s technology, methods, presentation or even traffic. The longer this drags out and the more hostile it becomes, the more apparent Microsoft's evil intention becomes. Yahoo! will do just fine without Microsoft.
