OH Boy are you. I've been waiting to see when Microsoft was finally going to hit the Acquisition button and just acquire Yahoo. Way back when they actually partnered together on the Search advertising through both MSN and Yahoo serving up ads through Overture together but in 2004 that all changed when MSN thought they would bring it all in house. Which has been sooo successful (sarcasm).

It was only a matter of time before these two decided to team up to try to beat down Google. I don't think it will work but together they will be better then they are apart at this point.
