I think Microsoft should have first bought Amazon, THEN Yahoo!.

Amazon has more going for it at the moment than Y!. (large online store, ebook reader, DRM-free music, etc.)

Yahoo! has been really improving their sites lately (better than most of the MSN UI refreshes!), and they have always had some good services. Though their search is the worst. They also have Flickr.

I hope if Microsoft does buy Yahoo!, the transition will go as smooth as possible. And Microsoft doesn't alienate new employees and current users.

I creat a poll at polls.zoho.com/.../do-you-like-microsoft-to-buy-yahoo . Vote to express your thoughts on this Microsoft's attempt, and see the result.

I think this would be VERY smart for MS to do.
