If you think all the features and links within Yahoo! will remain free once incorporated into M$, you must still believe in the Tooth Fairy. Nothing M$ does is done without its eye on creating a profit device. Technological innovation because they took down a competitor? I look to see a gradual dismantling of Yahoo! and it's slide to mediocrity while what is good about their web presence gets incorporated into websites already controlled by M$ and we get charged to use it.

Our best defense against this Titan taking control is everyone who feels the web should remain free of this monopolist giant dominating what we can do or use on the web to buy a share of Yahoo! and bury it in our back yards.
