No i am not a great favor of this merger or a possible take over of yahoo by Microsoft..............
Because in software industry merger or accusion are always not a welcome but it is quality innovation that a company can do to survive in this highly competive & knowledge oriented Software industry.......
By the way MS thinks that after taking over yahoo will give it some leverage in th online business market but it a erroneous thougt as google is way ahead in the online ads& fast caching up in display ad business which was a major money earner for yahoo.........
By the meant time both the it giants discuss about a take over google in the meant time will take the benifit of nonengagement of 2 of its rival can significantly increase its market strength............
It is bettr for yahoo to work with google to capture the online ads & strengthen its hold in display ad business & MS must bring about a product innovation in the online market & try to square up its postion before it is lost to google...........
But actually its not a woory time for customers as even the buy out goes fine then because the combined force will stil hold 30% of net add business & not in a postion to haras customer & depress Google..............
Always rember my words that innovation Driver software industy not just buy out or mergers..............
It is the great ideas that make sense not just tasaction of bns of $s
