Message to Redmond: Yahoo!? Fugedaboudit!

Microsoft should forget about Yahoo! altogether. IMHO the future of Internet search-with-ads will be highly fragmented in just a few years and then you will end up with an overpriced technology. You will not only spread too thin but will be investing in a company which is itself overpriced. And how about cloud computing? Do not fall completely for it. The Internet will cease to exist as the do-it-all medium, not to grow; that's the IT mirage du jour. The P in PC stands for personal, meaning your computer, your home, your office, right? The desktop and laptop PCs will continue to exist for a long time. Like the automobile, an invention that is part of everyday life. Continue to work on virtualization, Vista, Windows servers, natural language... Open source? Another mirage. An alternative that is NOT gratis. A lot of fellows still don't get the fact that free is as in "freedom of speech" not as in "free beer."
