In the annals of Silicon Valley culture, this merger fight is a definite biggie. But everyone knows Steve Ballmer's real target is Google.
  • Google is the Monopoly

    I've no great love for Microsoft, and agree with Andrew this is an act of desperation. However, I would hardly oppose this deal on regulatory grounds. Google is the real monopoly at this point, and I have great respect for many of their tenants. No matter how good a dictator is, a dictator is still a dictator. I'll applaud Microsoft and Yahoo if the merger works and we have some real competition in the world of search and advertising.
