Microsoft-Yahoo Search Deal Gets Go-Ahead From EU, US DoJ

Posted by timothy on from the will-it-blend? dept.

CWmike writes "Microsoft and Yahoo announced Thursday morning that the US DOJ and the European Commission have approved an agreement between the two firms to have the Bing search engine power Yahoo's sites. The companies said that engineers will begin adapting Bing for the Yahoo site 'in the coming days' and that they hope work is completed, at least the US, by the end of this year."
