Look at what MS is doing with its new entry into Exchange Online and SharePoint Online to its partners. For perspective look at the enlightening release by groupSPARK that offers a private branded version of those 2 products to resellers: http://www.emediawire.com/releases/exchange/online/prweb742904.htm. I think you are correct about how the MS/Yahoo alliance would work out.

@Marvin: Hi Marvin! Y! has Yahoo! Maps, Yahoo! Search and hack days under its belt. And guess what, Microsoft does too. The thing is G is a decade ahead as far as search technology is concerned. M and Y has their work cut out for them.

SOme great things that yahoo cannot surpass the capacity of google. they need more time to establish a well known name to both traditional internet users and undeground hacking society. google provides a great variety of sofwares that they called google apps like google earth, google search and “google hack” which is a very controversial move of google company

@Eugene: Honestly the idea of Y! falling into the laps of either M or G makes me feel queasy. G won’t make the mistake of bidding on Y! after the statement they made on their blog. They don’t want to be called hypocrites twice over.

@Robert: Hiyeah, Bill Gates is the bitch.

Google can’t bid on Yahoo! because it knows that it will immediately be rejected on antitrust concerns. Remember, Google’s takeover of Doubleclick was initially rejected in Europe because of ad monopoly concerns.

It’s not exactly rosy for Microsoft-Yahoo! as well. I’m quite sure there will be tons of Flickr, Delicious, and other Yahoo! property users who will leave Yahoo! if they accept Microsoft’s offer.
