At this point, how much of an impact will a combined Microsoft/Yahoo even have on the overall software market? Yahoo has been losing talent in a mass exodus. It would simply be a matter of Microsoft taking out a competitor. But we'll wait and see. Continuous news reports based on unnamed sources claiming the two remain in talks will continue, at least until Yahoo's board has been kicked out, or has won its proxy fight. Is anyone even rooting for Yahoo anymore?

Yahoo: just not worth it
It seems as if Microsoft is flexing its muscles trying to impress everybody by trying to take over Y!. I say leave it. Yahoo is just not worth all the trouble, it is slowly dying and losing market share anyway.
