If the acquisition was to go through MS has no intention on enhancing or improving search portals or any other service that Y! brings to the table (hasn't MS had plenty of time to prove this?) So instead of refocusing their vision to innovate they've opted to imitate, and sadly this course will garner Y! the same end result as countless other acquisitions (but will make a bigger headline when it happens.)
Start thinking about what the people want and not about the fat cats pocketbooks.
