Stay the same? Not according to UserFriendly:

Actually, this isn't a joke. It's standard MS business procedure.

Yahoo will not benefit from being owned by Microsoft. Microsoft is beyond being influenced by its users. Expect to be expected to conform - and for free and open solutions to experience more and more difficulties.

Microsoft is all about proprietary lock-in. Convenience means their convenience. Assuming this really comes down, all will be down hill. Expect within a year MS will sue Google for patent infringement. For what? They haven't decided.

Good luck!

Microsoft................Yahoo...virus protection

It will not stay the same...there will be more ads...the logo might change.

But I don't think that Windows Live Mail (Hotmail) is going to be merged with Yahoo! Mail because it just won't really make sense.

I am guessing that Yahoo! is going to accept the offer because 44.6 billion is quite a lot of money =O.

Microsoft needs Yahoo! to win the battle again Google! So Micro-Yahoo! will be top internet websites after this acquisition.
The Evil empire (MSFT) buys Yahoo (the web's darling)....yikes, gives be the shutters. No, lol, I hope that the federal USA Government allows the acquisition to go ahead (there will be all kind of monopoly issues to sort out), but it will finally give GOOGLE some competition. The backing of the huge beast that is Microsoft, will allow Yahoo! to restructure, with out having to worry about a crippling retaliation by it's user base. So there will be changes, Yahoo, under Microsoft I would predict, what they are is up to Microsoft's discretion (if the acquisition occurs).
I'll stop using Yahoo if Microsoft buys them!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably not. Remember that yahoo is in competition with msn (hotmail) therefore they have to either make a distinction or merge the two services.
most likely no one outside of the Yahoo employee sector will even notice (well except there'll likely be more MS banners on the yahoo sites...)
