Microsoft buys Yahoo, Google be ware!

Having a crush on Google, it is hard for me to even think about what might happen if Microsoft buys Yahoo!

They offered such a tempting price to Yahoo! that it is really hard to predict that what will really happen, a giant baby “Microo!” or “Yacroo!” or something like that.

“Microsoft said Friday that it is making an unsolicited offer of $31 a share, or $44.6 billion, to buy Yahoo in a move that would give the software giant more market share and become a significant threat to Google.”, ZDNet announced.

Yeah, this really could be Google’s nightmare and I really hope they have their secret weapon ready. Personally I think that Microsoft with all that power and glory did not get the whole idea of Web 2.0 and the connected world.

Hotmail is not my favorite and Live search often disappoints me (considering I search 10 to 50 times a day). Whatever they make keeps this universal rule of being Windows dependent. The connected world means being cross-platform NOT “genuinely” Windows certified!

Vista proved me that they just didn’t get it. I am so happy using Leopard. Let me clear that I don’t hate Microsoft and I respect their role in the history of mankind. I just have arguments about how ignorant they are to consumers.

Yahoo! is a legend and my first Internet experience was opening an e-mail account in Yahoo back in 1996. How excited I was!

However nobody could do what Google did and I hope they always have the main role in leading the IT world.
