Microsoft-Yahoo

Microsoft would integrate Yahoo's Internet services Bloomberg via MercuryNews.com (March 7)

This is very clear -- "Microsoft will either combine or shut down duplicate Internet services after purchasing Yahoo, Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer said. "We shouldn't have two of everything," Ballmer said at a Microsoft conference in Las Vegas Thursday. "It won't make sense." Microsoft and Yahoo own competing search engines, advertising programs, and e-mail and instant-messaging services." -- but it would be a huge job. Wonder if users of the service-to-be-closed would jump over to another provider?
